Mentawise - The knowledge graph engine (Public Intro 2025)
In this video, we introduce the idea behind Mentawise, the intelligent knowledge graph engine. We briefly explain our user interface and highlight current success stories.
Using Markdown syntax for rich-text discussions with CADdrive Comments
In this seventh video of our 2025 tutorial series we explain how to write rich-text comments for issues in CADdrive. Rich-text elements such as headings and lists can be achieved using standard Markdown syntax, as known from GitHub an other software development platforms.
Managing product design tasks and user assignment with CADdrive Issues
In this sixth video of our 2025 tutorial series we explain how to track issues with the CADdrive issue management feature and interface. Issues represent product design tasks, which need to be resolved at some point by a product design engineer. Task management is necessary, when larger teams work together on bigger projects with multiple stakeholders.
