Top-down Design
This section contains information about using top-down design methodology with Windchill.
Top-down design enables product architects to build and share a conceptual framework for a design across an enterprise. This allows geographically dispersed design teams to share their latest product data, work concurrently on product build-out, and shorten the time required to bring that product to market.
