VX® Version 6 Adds Tools from SMARTEAM® and Enhances VX WebLink for Web Publishing

VX Corporation, the pioneering developer of advanced, integrated CAD/CAM solutions for engineers and industrial designers, today announced the availability of new process control management capabilities in Version 6 of its VX CAD/CAM software. These new process control management capabilities increase control, interoperability and collaboration throughout the entire design-through-manufacturing process, cutting time-to-market and related process costs for users. Specifically, Version 6 is now fully integrated with SMARTEAM's product data management (PDM) solutions, and contains enhancements to VX's built-in Web publishing tool & VX WebLink, and free access to VX's viewing tool & VX Viewer.<br/>

Version 6's integration with SMARTEAM's, industry-standard, Product Lifecycle Collaboration solutions provides controlled and shared, real-time access to information and files that follow the life cycle of a product. Included are easy-to-use search, archive, check-in and check-out features that give users the ability to bring data in and out of VX and more easily manage shared data.<br/>

VX WebLink allows for more efficient and timely sharing of critical information by generating HTML pages that any standard web browser can view. Specifically, VX WebLink has been enhanced in Version 6 so that users can create Web pages within which entire assemblies can be viewed. Through modifiable templates and keywords in VX WebLink, users can also control the sharing of sensitive information. <br/>

More detailed views of models can be seen through VX Viewer, which is now available for free through the VX website

. Using VX WebLink or VX Viewer, users outside of the mainstream development environment, such as marketing personnel, suppliers and customers, can inspect and comment on developing products in a real-time environment, thus expediting the overall development process.<br/>

*"Simplified management and increased control of the design-through-manufacturing process are critical for distributed teams of engineers and parts manufacturers today. The new features and tools in VX accomplish both, substantially shortening time-to-market and lowering costs for our customers"*, said Bob Fischer, vice president of sales and marketing at VX Corporation. *"These new, expanded capabilities are another example of how VX sets the industry standard for powerful, yet affordable end-to-end solutions".*
