DBInventor Overview

DBInventor for Inventor is the file management tool of thousand of cad users. The highest level of integration assures full usage of all inventor functionality and preservation of design intent. DBInventor supports all Inventor® complex documents dependencies. Designers continue their design process with the benefit of file control and team collaboration. As designs grow in size and complexity the knowledge of design information shared among the enterprise becomes an important factor in reducing time to market and elimination of unnecessary rework.

Features & Benefits

Project Centric Concept
DBInventor manages the relationships between your documents and the projects to whom they have been assigned. The logical relation permit the linking of the same document to various projects avoiding document duplication and file storage waste.

Secure Document Revisions
DBInventor protects your design files with standard OS file security offering the highest performance in checking/checkout operations. Activate, view and compare previous revision as needed, including BOM’s.

Collaborative Team Work
DBInventor provides control of engineering data and helps improve the performance of engineering activities. The DBInventor database can share product data among the designers at the LAN level, through a Geographically Distributed Site Environment or with the DBInventor Briefcase of offline data exchange. Notifications of document changes are sent automatically to designers working on referencing documents. DBInventor Web Viewer enables connecting to your DBInventor database with standard internet browsers, giving you access to you product data from anywhere in the world.
