 PDF Key takeaways: Innovation is a top priority and primary growth driver as cited by many executives, but research from both Pricewaterhouse Coopers and IBM reflect that fewer than 20% of CEOs believe their investments are paying off The biggest challenge is not coming up with enough ideas; it is sifting through the deluge of competing ideas to identify and focus on the best in which to invest Product innovation is too critical a business process to be left to spreadsheets, documents, or PowerPoints, disconnected from the rest of the product value chain Oracle’s Innovation Management solution supports innovation by bridging the gap between selecting innovative ideas and transitioning the best ideas into profitable products to gain more satisfied customers Product Innovation Consistent product innovation has long been the “Holy Grail” of product development. As you would expect, product innovation is often cited as a top priority by most executives today. However, recent studies from Pricewaterhouse Coopers[1]

CCE announced the immediate availability of its updated Unified Interop (UIOp) libraries. The UIOp libraries were revised to support attributes that represent entity names in the native CAD system along with instance path. Persistent identifiers are now supported in Creo, NX and CATIA V6 translators. CATIA V5 and SOLIDWORKS persistent identifiers have been enhanced to provide unique identifiers for every instance in the assembly. "We've increased the speed of translation and support persistent id's across more CAD platforms," said Vinay Wagle, CCE's V.P. of Sales and Marketing. "Our newest UIOp release includes customer requested enhancements to process points, store component level attributes and more." UIOp's CATIA V5 translator now allows grouping of translated entities into respective geometric sets (PartBody, Geometric sets, Ordered Geometric sets) providing applications the ability to display the model tree as it appears in the native CAD system. Support for publications has been improved by providing access to published vertices

ZW3D has released a CAD/CAM white paper to discuss practical approaches for product design, bringing better products with shorter time-to-market.   With user experience becoming a major talking point, the marketability of products relies on not just usability but also aesthetics. Customers prefer products with eye-catching shapes, leaving product designers with more challenges than ever. They are constantly seeking for solutions to maximize the flexibility of product design process, in a bid to conceptualize and realize even their craziest ideas. Empowered by a unique OverdriveTM kernel, ZW3D CAD/CAM offers designers the following six approaches to turn their creative insights into tangible products. Sketch Flexibility With “Ready Sketch”, ZW3D’s built-in sketching library, standard parts can be sketched with a few clicks. As for not so commonly-used sketches, they can be generated in seconds with the equation curve. Plus, adjustments can be made by drag & drop operations. Modeling Flexibility Previously, designers were trained to apply different modeling

The newest versions of PROSTEP's 3D PDF Enrichment™ Products; 3D PDF Animate™, 3D PDF Publish™, and 3D PDF Compare™ (A/P/C), are now available. In August 2014, PROSTEP released Version 1.7.1 offering several new and exciting features.  Creating complex PDF documents with 3D CAD data is now easier than ever. The Adobe® Acrobat® Pro plug-ins, A/P/C 1.7.1, provide users with more preference controls. Users can now set each window to appear at the same location on the screen each time the 3D PDF Animate editor is accessed. Among other improvements, A/P/C 1.7.1 offers additional security.  When a user establishes security in the PDF document, others are prevented from modifying the 3D PDF with A/P/C tools. When creating animations inside the PDF document, users can now search the Model Tree to easily find specific parts to use in the animation. Users now also have the ability to copy and paste steps and group (move) activities, reducing
