InspectionXpert for CATIA V5
Selected Editor’s Pick of the Week by Desktop Engineering
Automation of first article and in-process inspection reports intrigues editor at large.
DUBLIN, NEW HAMPSHIRE, USA — Desktop Engineering (deskeng.com) announces that InspectionXpert for Dassault Systemes's CATIA V5 from Extensible CAD Technologies (Raleigh, NC) was selected as its Editor’s Pick of the Week for October 6, 2010.
“InspectionXpert for CATIA V5 [is] designed to take the tedious job of building your first article as well as in-process inspection reports and make it as efficient as possible through automation,” says Anthony J. Lockwood, editor at large for Desktop Engineering. “You can capture inspection dimensions, notes, geometric tolerances, hole callouts, and other data directly from your CATIA 2D drawings and 3D models [and] you can have [InspectionXpert] automatically balloon inspection characteristics directly onto your 3D CATIA models. All of this data can be placed into customizable and filtered Excel-based forms.”
A lot of “ people do mind-numbing jobs like entering tons of inspection data into Excel spreadsheets manually rather than having the computer do the work it for them,” adds Lockwood. “A product like InspectionXpert addresses [the] phenomena, which is what caught my notice.”
