The most important information about the new version

PDM Studio 2023

PDM Studio 2023 is here: an upgrade in efficiency, usability and security for your product data management. At the same time, the latest version of the popular PDM solution introduces new features requested by users.

Find existing data even faster: this works with the new query option that searches for documents, projects and articles - both in general and in the where-used list. PDM Studio 2023 also supports the latest versions of the Solid Edge, NX, SOLIDWORKS and Inventor applications. Also new: the Automation Designer, which relieves users of routine tasks. At the same time, the quality of data and information increases thanks to automated processes, because the error rate is reduced. New icons also emphasize the intuitive access to the software.

The newly designed migration tool makes it even easier to transfer existing data - from a directory structure, but also from other sources. We will be happy to provide you with professional support when you start using PDM or switch from another tool or a previous version. So that you can quickly use PDM Studio profitably, we train your employees and take care of the flawless integration into your IT infrastructure.
