What Vistapoint PDM is
Vistapoint PDM is cloud software for engineering teams that need CAD version control and centralized file storage. Its check-out and check-in process locks files, creates versions, and lets users restore earlier versions. It manages CAD references and revisions and extracts details such as material, supplier, and mass. Search can cover indexed fields including status, lock state, part number, material, and custom properties. For select CAD systems, users can create STEP, PDF, and DXF files in bulk. Listed integrations include SolidWorks, Catia, AutoCAD, Inventor, MicroStation, EPlan, Revit, PTC Creo, and Siemens NX; EPlan, PTC Creo, and Siemens NX require contacting the company, which also invites requests for its full supported list. Professional plans include 500 GB of cloud storage, CAD integrations, unlimited workspaces, versions, and templates, plus direct support. A read-only seat is $24 a month; a CAD editor seat is $70 a month. Extra storage may incur charges quoted on request. Vistapoint says it uses Microsoft Azure hosting, encryption, MFA, role-based permissions, and continuous monitoring.
