The Xpedition Viewer application organizes digital data, such as representations of schematic and layout designs, associated with Xpedition Standard or PADS Pro Essentials projects. The application recognizes each named project as a unique set of data accessible by one or more users in a collaborative environment. Projects reside in a common workspace so that team members can view and, with the appropriate subscription, add comments to the design data.
Predefined user roles determine who can access projects in the collaboration workspace. The Xpedition Viewer application subscription and user role determines the project data viewing and comment annotation rights of each team member.
The Home page is the portal to your personal workspace in the cloud. This page displays the most recently opened project names in your Xpedition Viewer application account and provides access to your account information and settings. When you sign in to the Xpedition Viewer application, the Home page displays by default (see User Interface Summary).
The Projects page displays all project names you have in the collaboration space, including projects that are shared with you by other collaboration team members. In an Administrator or Editor role, you can add a project, change an existing project name or description, or remove a project from the collaboration workspace. You can also view only the projects that you created or only the projects that you share with other users.
Selecting a project name opens a portal where you can view schematic and layout design representations (.cce files) associated with the project. You can also manage ancillary files associated with the project (for example, specifications, vendor data sheets, and engineering notes) in a variety of data formats.
