Fishbowl Solutions Releases HPGL Compare Data Integrity Tool

By DE Editors

Fishbowl Solutions, Inc. has released HPGL Compare as an add-on to linkTuner, which helps companies test and validate Windchill PDMLink system performance.

When companies upgrade to new versions of CAD and/or PDM/PLM software, some level of validation activities is best practice for ensuring that their Pro/ENGINEER data is accurate and the software still performs as intended. Validation is required for those companies looking to comply with certain FDA software validation policies, such as medical device companies. Because validation is often manual, it can take weeks or months to complete.

HPGL Compare addresses the challenge of validating Pro/ENGINEER drawings, ensuring they are an exact match before and after a migration or upgrade. If HPGL Compare finds inconsistencies, it provides a graphical report of the changes so engineers can focus their efforts. Automating this validation process saves companies time, money and helps to mitigate risk.
