We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Parametric", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Software connector keeps PDF backups from MasterControl, which we summarised at the time by saying "PDF copies in the MasterControl document control system are synchronised with the native files in the Windchill solution". Earlier in the week, we featured the news release PLM plans for a safe seat from Applied PLM Solutions: "Safety, style, and utility rule the child seat, pushchair and travel system market, and Britax uses Catia V5 to excel in all departments while increasing productivity".
 
In January 2008, we covered the news from Catalog Data Solutions (CDS) concerning its R+W Couplings 3D-Powered online catalogue - take a look at Online catalogue provides CAD models which says: "Responding to US customer requests for CAD models of its products, R+W Couplings decided to offer a 3D-Powered online catalogue via Design World Online".
 
Take a look also at the news release from PTC - Parametric Technology (UK), Upgraded software speeds product development, as well as Students challenge electric car design competition from Technology Innovation Centre, and 3D CAD makes machine development faster from CoCreate Software.
