PDXplorer™ software

Web site: www.PDXplorer.com

PDXplorer PDX Viewer/Editor opens, creates and edits PDX files that conform with the IPC-257x standards for Product Data eXchange (PDX). Product lifecycle management (PLM) applications often export PDX packages to downstream manufacturing and support applications that can import product data.

PDXplorer offers a clean, straight-forward user interface, coupled with an adaptable data parsing engine. Since PDX files can occasionally have varying attribute values depending upon the IPC implementation, PDXplorer examines common format differences to determine how best to open the PDX file.

PDXplorer Viewer/Editor is FREE - view and edit PDX files at no cost, securely on your own computer.

Acseni® PDM software

When first introduced in 1994, Acseni was the product data management (PDM) workhorse for smaller product companies. Its nominal system requirements and ground-breaking affordability made it a good choice for engineering departments with up to 20 users.

Although ASI no longer offers Acseni to new customers, we support existing customers via an upgrade program to our PDXpert PLM software. To preserve your product data investment while adding significant new capabilities, we provide an expedited data conversion process as well as attractive discounts to PDXpert software.
