xDefine

xDefine defines, organizes, and communicates manufacturing specifications directly in 3D. This can reduce mistakes, and automate downstream productions such as manufacturing and inspections.

The key features of the app are to define, organize, and communicate 3D annotations. It provides access to MBD and 2D drawing environments. It is a dashboard app and you can access it from the Compass.

xDefine provides the following key capabilities:

  • Reduce 2D drawing confusion and ambiguity.
  • Save time in maintaining 2D drawings.
  • Reduce scrap and rework because of confusion.
  • Reduce support calls to the engineering team.
  • Accelerate time to market.
  • Cloud-based with no software to install, configure, or manage. You are always working with the latest version.
  • Works in desktop and touch based devices.

Help appears in the User Assistance panel, docked to the right side of the work area. When you start a command, press F1 to open a topic linked to the command, or hover over a command in the action bar and click More Help to open the User Assisance panel.

To view the complete guide for your app, click a topic listed in the See Also area of the User Assisance panel. The link opens the guide in a new browser tab that is available on the web. The Help available in the new tab includes all the app related topics and guides related to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
