Key challenges
- Legacy viewers cannot open modern assembly sizes

- Custom solutions align viewing with your PLM and branding
Recommended actions
- Inventory which formats and assembly sizes legacy tools fail
- Plan a migration with dual-running and archive conversion
- Commission a viewer that owns your future file strategy
Decision frame
Audience
