MultiCAD Gateway for Aras Innovator is designed for product development environments utilizing various 3D CAD systems. It facilitates collaboration on identical parts or assemblies without the necessity for remodeling, making it particularly beneficial for globally distributed enterprises and supply chain partners involved in designing complex products with multiple high-end 3D CAD systems. The solution automatically translates CAD data into native formats such as NX, Creo, and SOLIDWORKS, ensuring seamless data interchange. Additionally, it offers data optimization solutions, including Product Data Quality (PDQ) checks and validation, all integrated within the Aras Innovator platform. The Universal CAD Plugin allows instant check-in and check-out directly from the CAD user interface, quick file searches, bi-directional property mapping, and data locking to prevent unauthorized modifications. This integration enhances efficiency and accuracy in collaborative product development processes.
