Data Management
Pro/INTRALINK
Workgroup data management
With production-proven Pro/ENGINEER workgroup data management capabilities, Pro/INTRALINK is the industry-standard solution to manage concurrent design teams and the power of Pro/ENGINEER data associativity. Engineers easily perform data management tasks, so they can concentrate on innovative product design. The result: more control, higher quality designs, and happier engineers.
Capabilities & Benefits:
- Common working environment and methodologies for Pro/ENGINEER users that improve engineering efficiency
- Centralized vaulting and revision control of Pro/ENGINEER models, relationships, and functionality for improved information security and accuracy
- Individual and group level access control to control when changes are permitted, whom can make them, and communicating changes broadly
- Powerful searching tools, product configuration reports, and easy copying / renaming of existing designs facilitates design reuse
- Intuitive user interface improves productivity simplifies data management activities

Windchill PDMLink
Product and process control
Hard-to-find, unreliable data hinder innovation and productivity. A single, trusted digital product development data repository allows manufactures to expertly manage all forms of product data - including mechanical, electrical, and software. Windchill PDMLink is this solution. Web-based for easy enterprise-wide access, this PDM system supports geographically dispersed teams while managing critical processes such as change/configuration management and release to manufacturing.
Capabilities & Benefits:
- A Web-based master product data management repository, enabling global access to current, accurate information from myriad sources
- Seamlessly connects to multiple mechanical/electrical CAD applications, desktop applications and Enterprise Resource Planning systems.
- Prevents costly design errors by controlling and automating typically chaotic product change management processes
- Facilitates rapid development of new product configurations through reuse of previously designed product configurations
- Operates seamlessly with Pro/ENGINEER and Windchill ProjectLink for distributed, cross-enterprise collaboration on data acquisition and product information
Features
- Heterogeneous MCAD/ECAD Data Management
With a deep understanding of complex design data and their inter-relationships, Windchill PDMLink has expanded capabilities for heterogeneous MCAD/ECAD data management, and thus frees engineering to focus on innovative design. - Integral Parts Management
Integral parts management, via the Windchill PartsLink Classification and Reuse module, provides the ability to load and manage a classification structure, classify parts, and perform high-speed parameter-based searches. - Lifecycle Transitions
Built-in "lifecycle transitions" allow companies to enforce best practices or company policies while maintaining flexibility by accommodating different business rules for each phase of the product development lifecycle. - Product Structure Explorer
The product structure explorer enhances configuration management by unifying product structure editing and visualization tools and greatly improving ease of use via the combination of editing, visualization, and annotation operations. - Windchill Archive Module
A new Windchill Archive module enables administrators to easily archive and restore product information, while providing data security and reducing compliance costs to meet regulatory information storage requirements.

AutobuildZ for Pro/ENGINEER
As easy as 1, 2, 3D
With AutobuildZ, a plug-in application for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, design engineers have a comprehensive set of tools to create parametric, fully-featured 3D designs from 2D drawings by using a simple, wizard-based approach.
Feature wizards allow designers to select elements that define Pro/ENGINEER features directly from the drawing. Do you have extruded and revolved features needing valid section profiles? The fixing tools are right there in the feature wizards. And, creating fully detailed drawings from your new 3D design, with orthographic, section, detail and auxiliary views is a matter of clicks.
When we say easy, we mean easy.
Capabilities & Benefits:
- Use wizards to create Pro/ENGINEER features from 2D drawings
- Have constant visual feedback in 3D and 2D during feature creation
- Create automated drawings with associated views of the 3D design
- Select from multiple interactive tools for ease of use
- Rebuild designs from single, familiar drawing environment
- Increased efficiency from conversion of existing 2D data to 3D designs
- Training of current 2D workforce in 3D modeling concepts
