Au t ode sk I n ve n t or PD M : Soft w a r e Re fe r e n ce Gu ide December 2004 Edit or s Not e: This Reference Guide includes data for Autodesk Inventor Product Definition Management (PDM) vendors, including native Autodesk and third party application providers. See our associat ed feat ure art icle, I nt roduct ion t o t he PDM Roundup, in t he Inventor Connections Community, under Community Features. I t int roduces PDM: An Overview and PDM Funct ionalit y, which defines PDM soft w are specificat ions. (Feel free to use the Search function to find these articles by title.) Note that, although one could include data translation software in the realm of PDM (some data translation software has many functional similarities to PDM), we have not included it in this Roundup. Please see our Translation/Migration Roundup, published in September 2004, for data translation vendors and software specifications. Data was submitted by the listed companies. ConnectPress cannot guarantee its accuracy; we suggest you contact the specific company for further information, particularly to confirm technical specifications regarding their products. All prices are in US dollars.
