XpresReview Package Exchange for integrated design reviews

Using the new XpresReview Package Exchange capability in Teamcenter Express, designers can efficiently conduct design reviews with other workgroups, suppliers and customers. Based on Siemens’ established XpresReview and packaged collaboration file (PCF) technologies, the new handling capabilities include import, export, mailing, viewing and markup of PCF files to facilitate simple but powerful design review collaboration.The XpresReview tool integrated into Teamcenter Express and freely downloadable by other users, can be used by both internal and external users to review and mark up the contents of the PCF file.

PCF Files

PCF files are portable, intelligent containers that package 2D and 3D CAD files and any other document types. PCF is the established design review format for NX® and Solid Edge® software CAD users. PCF containers can be emailed to external users who may not use Teamcenter Express but who are involved in the review and approval of design data. When creating the PCF file the originator can determine what functions will be enabled in the XpresReview tool, for example only enabling viewing or enabling additional markup and cross-sectioning capabilities.

XpresReview tool

Using the XpresReview tool, external recipients can view and interrogate documents within the PCF file, then repackage the documents to return or forward. For Solid Edge and NX part, assembly and drawing file formats XpresReview supports additional measurement, cross-sectioning and markup capabilities. Modified PCF files can be imported back into Teamcenter Express to enable any changes made to be examined by the Teamcenter Express user and incorporated into the current design revision.
