Mastercontrol will demonstrate the PDMWorks Connector at the Solidworks World 2009 conference, which takes place 8-11 February in Orlando, Florida.
The PDMWorks Connector connects Mastercontrol and Solidworks' PDMWorks product data management system.
This allows collaboration and redlining on PDF versions of Solidworks drawings while ensuring that the PDF copies in the Mastercontrol document control system stay in sync with the native files in the PDMWorks solution.
Mastercontrol's easy-to-use system manages and tracks the creation, modification and archiving of all information relating to a product.
The interface provides users with a straightforward means of applying document control to CAD data without forcing designers to use a non-native application for managing CAD files.
CAD files are maintained by the native PDMWorks software system while Mastercontrol creates PDF copies for official document control purposes such as routing, approval and production.
It allows users to redline and collaborate on drawings using nothing more than Adobe Reader.
Mastercontrol will also demonstrate its Mastercontrol TotalMFG software at Solidworks World 2009.
Mastercontrol TotalMFG lets manufacturers get their products to market faster while maintaining regulatory compliance.
Mastercontrol TotalMFG allows development teams to use the tools with which they are already comfortable to help them execute and communicate their tasks more efficiently.
The TotalMFG system is an integrated enterprise system that serves as a single source for product definition and provides a central repository for all drawings, specs, manufacturing procedures, inspection criteria, marketing collaterals, bills of materials and so on.
The system features integrated applications and seamlessly integrates with tools such as CAD, Outlook, Word and MS Project.
