proALPHA CA-Link provides seamless integration to engineering design systems and enables proALPHA, a leader in the provision of complete manufacturing systems, to offer outstanding Product Data Management (PDM) capabilities.

In addition to the ability to access all data stored in proALPHA, online maintenance of that data is possible as well - directly from a design engineer's CAD software.

CA-Link supports:

AutoCAD 2002 and higher
AutoCAD Mechanical
AutoCAD Mechanical Desktop
Autodesk Inventor Release 7 and higher
EPLAN 5x and EPLAN 21
pro/ENGINEER 2001 and higher
Solid Edge Release 14 and higher
SolidWorks Release 2004 and higher
UNIGRAPHICS (UGS) NX and NX/2

For each CAD system, drawings, design models and their components are maintained and managed in proALPHA.

Further support is available from a comprehensive Change Management System. Parts lists and bills of material can be extracted from and returned to the proALPHA database. CA-Link is online and real-time - that means no multiple entry of data.

All design processes are redundancy-free and are performed seamlessly in proALPHA.

The ability to view all design data at any time from within proALPHA itself completes this summary of the unique features available to you in CA-Link.
