PDM Studio - Integration with Inventor CAD

 

 

PDM Studio Integration with Inventor CAD

Autodesk Inventor is a CAD software developed by Autodesk for mechanical 3D modeling, simulation, visualization, and documentation. For data management, Autodesk recommends its own solution, Vault. PDM Studio is a suitable alternative to this system and offers numerous additional benefits.

The direct integration of PDM Studio with Inventor enables efficient data management and allows users to access functions directly from Inventor. This eliminates the need to switch between applications, saving time and keeping the focus on important daily tasks.

Some functions that can be started directly from Inventor include:

  • Switch directly to PDM Studio
  • Save in PDM Studio
  • Check out documents for editing
  • Create copies, e.g. including linked drawings
  • Approve and change status
  • Create a revision/version
  • Open the drawing associated with a 3D model directly

All information provided by Inventor is also mapped in PDM Studio:

  • Structure of the assembly and the connection between the 3D model and drawing
  • Quick overview of assemblies without needing to open Inventor
  • Synchronization of file properties between Inventor and PDM Studio
  • Use the information to fill in the title block in Inventor or to generate bill of materials (BOM) in Inventor.
  • Additional documents can be added to the structure or to an individual document for better clarity. For example, a PDF containing specifications for a purchased part can be directly attached to the component.

Inventor components can be used directly from PDM Studio:

  • Place into the already opened assembly or drawing  
  • Create drawings
  • Replace the selected model in the assembly

The integration and implementation of PDM Studio can usually be completed in just a few weeks. Preparing data in advance is not necessary.

Existing data is transferred 1:1 from another PDM system or folder structure and is optimized during processing. It doesn’t get any faster or easier!
