PDMLink
PTC's Product Data Management solution, launched in 2002 as the successor to Pro/INTRALINK. Manages product data across engineering, manufacturing, and service—offering version control, change management, multi-CAD support, and federated global data management.
Why it matters
PDMLink is where most Windchill implementations start. Understanding PDMLink's scope (CAD vault, BOM management, change management, multi-CAD integration) defines what Windchill can do out of the box before additional modules are licensed.
