Extensible CAD Technologies has released InspectionXpert for Solid Edge. InspectionXpert helps design and manufacturing organizations create ballooned CAD drawings and inspection forms directly from CAD drawings. It is an add-in for Solid Edge that interrogates the inspection characteristics in the 2D drawing and automatically creates a ballooned inspection sheet and inspection reports for AS9102, PPAP, FAIR, and in-process inspections.
