ASTRA PDM is a practical alternative that gives you secure, structured control of drawings and technical documents — without the weight of full PLM.
From design changes and security labels to reviewer collaboration, it solves what shared folders can’t.
Too Many Drawings, Too Many Shared Folders —
But PLM Still Feels Out of Reach?
ASTRA PDM is a practical drawing management solution that lets you organize engineering files safely and systematically — without the complexity of full PLM.
It supports:
- CAD viewing
- Version control
- Security labels and lifecycle-based access control
- Design change requests, review & approval workflows
With high-end workflows embedded in an intuitive interface, even complex engineering processes can flow smoothly.
Designed for the way teams actually work, ASTRA PDM is the most realistic choice for standardizing and automating drawing-based collaboration.
What Makes ASTRA PDM Different
When PLM Feels Too Heavy and Shared Folders Are No Longer Enough
A Structure That Works for Everyone — From Editors to Reviewers
Only a few people directly edit CAD files, but many more are involved in reviewing, confirming, and approving.
ASTRA PDM divides access and responsibility based on role, and structures collaboration with workflow logic.

What Manufacturing Teams Are Saying
PLM felt excessive. Just sharing folders wasn’t enough.
We wanted to manage drawings and technical documents clearly, with roles and procedures in place. ASTRA PDM is a practical system that supports structured change and approval workflows — without full PLM complexity.
We adopted it without changing our existing folder structure.
It worked with the folders we were already using. No reorganization or extra configuration was needed to establish a collaboration system.
The people reviewing drawings are different from those editing them.
ASTRA PDM clearly separates roles and supports condition-based sign-off flows. It helped us align our actual review process to how we really work.
Version and change history are now audit-ready
We can now track who changed what and when, with clear responsibility trails. It’s reduced quality and compliance risks in a measurable way.
Clear Status Tracking
Track document states like Draft → In Review → Approved, so everyone knows what’s ready — and what’s not.
Automatically notify relevant stakeholders at each stage based on status-driven rules.
Reliable Version History
All updates are automatically logged with user and timestamp.
Easily compare revisions, avoid overwrites, and prepare for audits with complete transparency.
Granular Access Control
Go beyond simple upload/edit/view roles.
Set role- and workflow-based access policies with lifecycle-aware security labels.
Integrate with Existing CAD Tools
Minimize disruptions — no need to replace familiar folder structures.
Maintain your team’s CAD workflows while adding structured review and approval layers.
Review & Approval That Meets Global Standards
From drawing check to spec approval and change confirmation,
ASTRA PDM supports enterprise-grade review flows.
Complex change approvals are automated, helping you implement compliant, auditable workflows aligned with international standards.
Your Files Are Piling Up — But Shared Folders Are Getting Harder to Manage.
