ZWCAD Design unveiled an interview with two customers in Korea, conducted by Nitrosoft, the authorized Korean distributor of ZWCAD+. During the interview, FME and Crucial Tech highly recognized the excellent DWG compatibility, easy-to-use functions and cost-effectiveness of ZWCAD+, which delivered huge productivity and profit gains for their design projects. Crucial Tech Selected ZWCAD+ for Excellent DWG Compatibility and Functionality Crucial Tech, one of the leading manufacturers of electronic components in Korea making products, such as the world-first Optical Track Pad and LED flash module, which are highly precise and complicated, is very cautious about its CAD choice. Having tested two CAD programs and found their interfaces too different from its current CAD software and that DWG files cannot be accurately opened and displayed, it turned to ZWCAD+ which completely meets its DWG compatibility, functionality, and design efficiency requirements. “In order to seek a better CAD alternative, I have tested two programs,” said Mr. Han, engineer of

Does Historical PDM Usage Limit How we View PLM Today?   Early in my career, as I was implementing 3d, solid modeling across five corporate divisions, I was asked if I had “ever used a drafting board” by one of the manufacturing engineers who was skeptical about the use of the incoming tool set. My response was “not only have I used a drafting board, I have also used a slide rule and punch cards – and I don’t think any of us would argue that we should go back to those tools today.” That said, we did what every company was doing at that time, implementing CAD on high end personal computers while mimicking the practices of using a drafting board. My premise is that we are doing the same today with PLM. Companies implemented PDM (Product Data Management) over the past 10 to 15 years with an emphasis on part number
