WindchilT Workgroup Manager for Autodesk® Inventor

DELIVERING THE POWER AND BENEFITS OF WINDCHILL TO THE AUTODESK INVENTOR ENVIRONMENT

With Windchill managing Autodesk Inventor

data, designers can perform everyday design

tasks in their familiar MCAD environment,

while leveraging the powerful process and

content management capabilities of Windchill

to manage the resulting design data throughout

its lifecycle.

Managing Autodesk Inventor data within Windchill allows

you to capture and control all 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

• Integrate the Autodesk Inventor design environment with

the wider enterprise in terms of business processes and

procedures

• Extend the sharing of design data beyond engineering

departmental and corporate

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

• Centralize the management of business processes, such

as release procedures and change control

• Provide all relevant groups with accurate, up-to-date,

relevant 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 Windchill actions within the Autodesk Inventor

application, enabling designers to focus on design

activities rather than data management

• Minimize engineer interruptions by utilizing background

processes to upload files to Windchill, thus allowing the

designer to continue using Autodesk Inventor without

having to wait for database actions to complete
