CASTLE
ROCK, Colorado, September 9, 2009 -- Active Sensing, Inc. (ASI) today
released PDXpert® PLM 2010 Edition
product lifecycle management software, which now offers a new bill of
materials Markup Wizard, file content indexing, and other significant
productivity enhancements.
PDXpert PLM 2010 Edition introduces the Markup Wizard, a
tool for easily modifying multiple bills of materials (BOMs) in one simple
workflow. The Markup Wizard can
automatically add, replace and remove components on assemblies, and will
create new BOM revisions as needed to support these changes. The Markup
Wizard discovers and displays all component "where used" instances to ensure that each affected bill of materials
is correctly updated as intended.
The new 2010 edition of PDXpert PLM software also
introduces file content searches. PDXpert has always provided free-form text
searches of parts, documents and change forms contained in the PLM database.
PDXpert PLM 2010 Edition uses Microsoft Windows Search 4.0 components to
index common file formats (text, HTML, RTF, even ZIP), and search
results include files with matching content. Plug-ins for other file
formats, such as Adobe PDF and Office 2007, as well as for more specialized
engineering file formats for CAD files, can be installed as needed. PDXpert
software's
simple yet powerful search syntax includes Booleans and wildcards.
PDXpert PLM 2010 Edition now can convert one document or part type into another, and
has a user-defined rules that prevent assigning duplicate part or document numbers. System WAN
performance has improved with more local caching. Other
improvements include 64-bit SQL Server and Windows support, and PDXpert has
been tested with the upcoming releases of Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. The
system help files, which are now also available on-line, detail step-by-step
procedures for operational and administrative functions.
