The Insight XT Microsoft Sharepoint app has been launched to help Solid Edge users simplify and speed the completion of every day design tasks by helping to better organise data and processes. According to the company, it adds new part, product and project structures that are required by manufacturing organisations but are not available in standard SharePoint document libraries.
