Autodesk Inventor integrates AutoManager Meridian

Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Mar 13, 2001

Cyco Software's AutoManager Meridian Offers Complete Integration with Autodesk Inventor Cyco Software.

Cyco Software, the provider of document management software for the design and engineering environment, now offers complete integration between Autodesk Inventor and AutoManager Meridian.

This first full integration assures that all documents created with Autodesk Inventor, including all their revisions, are automatically stored in AutoManager Meridian.

Furthermore, information from within these files, e.g title block or X-Ref information, is also stored and automatically synchronized in AutoManager Meridian.

AutoManager Meridian supports Autodesk's innovative new adaptive technology, which allows users to design the way they think and collaborate more effectively in teams, supporting concurrent engineering and the reuse of complex design and manufacturing knowledge.

With the AM-Meridian concept of working copies, fast and efficient design is made possible for teams: While working on large assemblies, only those parts that are being changed are retrieved from the central AutoManager Meridian database.

All other parts remain available to other project members.

This exceptional concept allows for perfect teamwork in all projects.

To ensure that its mechanical design software customers can address every facet of the design-through-manufacturing process, Autodesk works closely with a growing alliance of leading mechanical application developers.

This allows users to benefit from complete design-through-manufacturing capabilities within a seamless and unified design environment.

Cyco Software is a long-standing MAI Partner, and its document management solutions provide best-of-class integration with Autodesk products.

"Cyco Software, a long time Autodesk Authorized Developer and Partner, is the ideal partner for delivering the best engineering document management solutions to Autodesk Inventor customers," says Barrett Kamille, Manufacturing Partner Program Manager for Autodesk.

"The close partnership allows us to bring an integrated solution to the market that strengthens the single-day productivity and the ability to share design data with the rest of the enterprise.

AutoManager Meridian is the best example of how engineering document management can support this approach," he concludes.

"By means of the partnership between Autodesk and Cyco Software, customers can benefit from the competence and the innovation ability of two market leaders," says Rob Steenbrink, CEO of Cyco Software.

"The integration of Autodesk Inventor and AutoManager Meridian fulfils the need of many engineers: To have easy access to all high-performance 3D mechanical designs at any time and from any location."
