PDXpert PLM manages your documents and their revisions. You can create document types for every department, each with its own document numbering sequence and revision format.

Document records are often used as "containers" for files shared across multiple parts. You can add a document record to any part or assembly structure, and users will be able to easily navigate to the permanently-attached electronic files that describe your requirements, specifications and procedures. Easily move from one document revision to the next, and research the history of your designs.

• Create a virtually unlimited variety of document types, each with their own built-in and custom properties
• Define document numbers with up to 70 alphanumeric characters, with prefix, sequentially-assigned, suffix and skip characters
• Define revisions with up to 10 alphanumeric characters, with ability to skip invalid characters (e.g., MIL-STD-100's I/O/Q/S/X/Z)
• Specify text templates that guide users how to name documents using your preferred title format
• Manually or automatically assign revisions, using separate preproduction and production revision sequences
• Manage design maturity and discourage unconstrained use by applying your own lifecycle phases, such as preliminary, prototype, production
• Identify and assign tasks necessary to prepare the document for release
• Research the assemblies where a specification or procedure is used, as well as change forms where the document revision was released, canceled or otherwise affected
• Attach any number of files to a document revision; check-out/-in files for modifications without conflicts
• Create custom attributes
• Allow regulatory agencies, customers and supply chain partners to own documents that affect your product definition

PDXpert PLM software provides these engineering document control capabilities:

• pre-defined, extensible part and drawing types with default attributes
• fast, attribute-driven engineering drawing and part record searches
• content searches of common file types such as Word, Excel, and PDF
• rules-based item number assignment, which support simple sequential assignments, intelligent part numbers, and tabulated drawing schemes
• flexible item revision rules, including optional pre- and post-production formats
• drag-and-drop object construction for quickly defining document relationships and building part assemblies
• engineering drawing, part, BOM and design file release management with change approval workflow

These functions translate directly into real benefits including increased sales revenue through faster engineering drawing releases; lower product costs by instantly displaying the most current engineering drawings and parts; and lower administrative overhead by allowing users to attach important supporting engineering data directly to document records.

PDXpert PLM software: Controlling more than engineering drawings & data

As engineering departments' requirements have expanded, engineering drawing management solutions have become more sophisticated. Product lifecycle management software is the evolutionary descendant of simple "engineering drawing control" software.

PDXpert PLM software provides the necessary engineering drawing management capabilities and, equally important, automates and enforces the many processes necessary for good engineering data management. And, PDXpert PLM software goes beyond just engineering document control by including the functions essential for managing the complete product design life cycle, such as part records, bills of materials,engineering changes, and materials composition.

And it's all done within a simple and flexible software application.
