Viewable generation from native CAD files stored in a PLM solution maximizes value by providing users with accurate access to current information. The ability to create various viewable files such as PDF, 3D PDF, STEP, IGES, STL, DXF or neutral file formats from native CAD files allows for users downstream of Engineering to leverage for reuse.
The use of viewable files may be customer and/or supplier collaboration, illustrations, product catalogs, or documentation. Whatever the need may be, the ability to automatically generate these files, apply watermarks, link them to the native file and enforce security permissions is essential for most businesses today.
