This solution extends the base functionality of Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager (Formerly CoCreate Model Manager) to allow users to manage product and project documentation, whilst working effectively in a team environment
The PDM Anydocs add-on to Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager supports most Microsoft Windows based single file formats such as WORD, EXCEL, PowerPoint and ADOBE Photoshop etc.
This add-on module is available as an out of the box solution, without any configuration or modification. However, Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager is a highly configurable product, which can be tailored to meet specific customer business rules and requirements including integration into non standard customer specific document classes.
PDM Anydocs also allows you to drag and drop your emails straight from MS Outlook into Creo Elements/Direct Model Manager. It even knows if the email is already there to prevent duplication of data.
Projects with large amounts of data are managed by a powerful set of features to greatly increase workgroup 
productivity, and provide mechanisms to aid ISO 9000 control and revision control tracking.
This easy to use solution saves valuable time by answering such questions as:
- Where is the document used?
- When was the document last modified and by whom?
- What parts or projects do these documents relate to and who is working with them?
- What is the current status of a Document WIP, Approved and Released?
