The major release brings new features that standardize processes, make responsibilities more transparent, and save valuable time. This allows teams to work even more efficiently and always maintain full control over their data. Discover the most important new features in our overview.
For higher quality management requirements, predefined and fixed workflows are now available. Typical processes such as ECR (Engineering Change Request) and ECO (Engineering Change Order) can be structured clearly and consistently.
An ECO process can be designed as a one or two step approval. For example, a prototype may first receive preliminary approval. After successful testing, it is transferred to final approval.
Within the workflow, responsible persons can be assigned and automatic notifications can be triggered to ensure transparency and timely execution.
The new “Divisions” feature allows documents within a shared database to be clearly separated and organized flexibly at the same time. Whether departments, divisions, locations, or external partners: Each group operates according to its own structure and accesses only the files and information intended for it. Sensitive information remains protected, and duplicate data storage is avoided. Content can be selectively shared or restricted, and read and write permissions can be controlled on an individual basis. Ownership of documents can be transferred to other divisions.
AutoCAD files can be transferred directly from AutoCAD to PDM Studio, where they can be updated and revised. Likewise, AutoCAD components can be opened and revised directly from within PDM Studio, ensuring a seamless workflow between design and data management.
Additional minor improvements include a modernized graphical user interface and increased overall system performance.
