Data Sheet PTC Windchill Workgroup Manager for SolidWorks ® Delivering the Power and Benefits of PTC Windchill to the SolidWorks Environment Designers can now perform everyday design tasks in their familiar MCAD environment, while using PTC Windchill to manage SolidWorks data throughout its lifecycle. Managing SolidWorks data within PTC Windchill allows you to capture and control all of your design information within a single enterprise environment, manage the data under a single product structure, and easily leverage that information across the extended organization in a controlled manner. Key benefits Improve collaboration • Fully incorporate the use of SolidWorks data in product development processes that span multiple organizations • Extend the sharing of design data beyond engineering, departmental and corporate boundaries using standard Internet technology Improve data quality • Eliminate mistakes associated with duplicate or incomplete data by managing data from multiple CAD systems in a single, controlled location under the umbrella of a single product structure Improve engineer productivity • Improve efficiency through design data reuse and a reduction in the number of design steps • Enable the designer to focus on design activities rather than data management by embedding PTC Windchill actions within the SolidWorks application • Minimize engineer interruptions by utilizing background processes to upload files to PTC Windchill, thus allowing the designer to continue using SolidWorks without having to wait for database actions to complete Increase enterprise efficiency • Reduce the number of product development systems by providing one system that can manage multiple sources of data (e.g., different CAD and documentation formats) • Enforce standard design processes across multiple design projects and organizations • Centralize the management of business processes such as change control • Provide all relevant groups with accurate, up-todate product content information that’s held in a single location Page 1 of 3 | PTC Windchill Workgroup Manager for SolidWorks
