Working in a Multi-CAD Environment

Few manufacturers have the luxury of a homogenous CAD environment anymore. According to a recent PTC study, companies use an average of 2.7 CAD systems, just within their own firewalls. Often times, companies are constrained by customer demands, supply chain dynamics, and designs that reside in legacy CAD systems. Explore the challenges of working in a multi-CAD environment, the PTC solutions to address these challenges, and how these solutions could meet your needs.
