Convert CAD data to ProductView-compatible formats, quickly and consistently
ProductView Adapters allow organizations to quickly convert essential engineering design data into actionable content for use in downstream processes, including design collaboration and validation, and technical illustrations for product support.
ProductView Adapters support leading CAD formats, such as Pro/ENGINEER, CADDS 5, CATIA V5*, SolidWorks, Unigraphics, Autodesk Inventor*, CATIA V4, and I-deas, as well other formats such as Microsoft Office documents, STEP, JT, DGN, and many legacy formats.
ProductView Adapters are available either as a server-based installation, to run alongside Windchill, or user-based, to accommodate the precise needs of the organization.
* This adapter is available from PTC’s partner Theorem Solutions
