Software developers have taken their time preparing oriented solutions including those that allow to minimize user errors. In recent projects, there has been the need, for ship designers, to use CAD tools to work better, avoiding to introduce mistakes into the 3D model, with all parts information and classification and construction drawings as much accurate and precise as possible. A CAD tool with design rules embedded would allow to reduce time and cost, and produce detailed 3D models and accurate classification drawings, in addition to others. Other advantages for the future of the CAD Systems can be grouped by discipline. During the first stages of the ship design, it is where there are more implications downstream, so more mistakes could imply more losses of productivity.
