Does SmarTeam support other data related to my designs such as process documents, compliance documents, manufacturing procedures?
Yes. In addition to CAD data SmarTeam has native integration to the Microsoft Office suite of tools. This means that you can use SmarTeam to not only easily associate these documents to your designs and parts but you can also provide robust revision control to these documents and as well as work-flow management. In addition to the Office tools, any type of data can be associated to a part in SmarTeam. This is valuable for including data such as AVIs for video instructions, data from analysis tools, JPEGs, and other electronic data that supports other organizations and compliance requirements. What does native integration mean? This is the ability to manage data stored in SmarTeam from within the CAD application itself. Instead of the typical read/write operations done with the tool in a file-based environment, the user uses a pull-down menu to read, check-out, and check-in CAD data as well as other valuable operations. This level of integration assists in the user adoption of SmarTeam
