Propel Software launched DesignHub, a multi-CAD integration solution that connects over 15 mechanical and electrical design tools to Propel’s PLM (product lifecycle management) solution, boosting productivity from design to release. DesignHub is available immediately as part of Propel’s Winter 2026 release. The release also includes expanded capabilities from Propel One, Propel’s agentic AI solution powered by Salesforce Agentforce. DesignHub solves a persistent problem for manufacturers, getting accurate design data from computer aided design (CAD) systems to PLM. Design data often sits in shared drives with unclear naming conventions, leading to version conflicts, costly rework, and delayed handoffs. DesignHub drastically improves the connection between engineering teams and the rest of the enterprise, making design data a strategic asset accessible across procurement, product management, marketing, sales, and service. “Our research reveals multiple CAD applications and complexity hampers new product development, with nearly three-quarters of companies facing inefficiency and delays due to multi-CAD challenges.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, 17 December 2025—The CIMdata-administered Aerospace & Defense PLM Action Group (AD PAG) has released a new, authoritative report, Digital Twin-Digital Thread Solution Evaluation Benchmark Report of Findings: General Availability Edition. Recognizing that the knowledge of what is currently possible with digital twin and digital thread (Dtw-Dth) was not widely understood, the AD PAG sponsored this extensive project. The findings reported are the culmination of a collaborative exploration of solution strategies, implementation approaches, current value delivery capabilities, and future visions of commercial Dtw-Dth providers. Domain experts from seven AD PAG member companies partnered with four industry organizations and engaged with seven leading solution providers to execute the benchmarks. The report concludes that the current practical value potential of Dtw-Dth investment is real and substantial. Key insights include: Verified Value Potential: Confirmation that substantial value is being delivered today, verified by the demonstration of the very powerful Dtw-Dth solutions currently in
