How can I manage my SOLIDWORKS Data?

SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard is a CAD data management solution for smaller workgroup environments in a single location.

Included in SOLIDWORKS Professional and Premium packages, SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard eliminates the overhead of managing SOLIDWORKS CAD and DraftSight data on local and shared network drives.

A data vault powered by Microsoft® SQL Server® Express guarantees all information is securely stored and indexed for fast retrieval by authorized users within your company and it is easy to implement and configure SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard efficiently.

User-based permissions guide your product teams through your development processes, ensuring that team members have access to the right files at the right time.
