Data Sheet PTC* Windchill* Workgroup Manager for CAT I A* V5 Delivering the Power and Benefits of PTC Windchill to the CAT IA V5 Environment Designers can now perform everyday design tasks in their familiar MCAD environment while using PTC Windchill to manage CATIA V5 data throughout its lifecycle. Managing CATIA V5 data within PTC Windchill allows you to capture and control your design information within a single enterprise environment, manage the data undera single product structure, and easily leverage that information across the extended organization in a controlled manner. Improve collaboration • Fully incorporate the use of CATIA V5 data in product development processes that span multiple organizations • Extend the sharing of design data beyond engineer- ing, departmental and corporate boundaries using standard Internet technology Improve data quality • Eliminate mistakes associated with duplicate or incomplete data by managing data from multiple MCAD and ECAD/EDA systems in a single, con- trolled location underthe umbrella of a single product structure • Centralize the management of business processes, such as change control • Provide all relevant groups with accurate, up-to- date, product content information that's held in a single location Improve engineer productivity • Increase operating efficiency by reusing design data and reducing the number of design steps • Embed PTC Windchill actions within the CATIA V5 application, enabling designers to focus on design activities ratherthan data management • Minimize engineer interruptions by utilizing back- ground processes to upload files to PTC Windchill, thus allowing designers to continue using CATIA V5 without having to wait for database actions I Insert Tools Analyze Window I Open from Windchill...
