CAD tools are becoming increasingly powerful today. They provide users with more efficiency and improve the overall performance of design activities. CAD software publishers include specific tools that are dedicated to knowledge management in order to achieve this design performance and significant savings. The use of these tools and certain functions is nevertheless context-oriented. A decisional model for the use of knowledgeware has therefore been developed here, and the application of knowledgeware in different industrial cases is discussed.
