SOLIDWORKS PDM

When modelling in SOLIDWORKS, before you know it, you will have created lots of parts, assembly and drawing files, so it’s important to think about how you will manage these files and keep everything organised. In this webinar we discussed the ‘6 Golden Rules’ of managing your SOLIDWORKS files using Windows Explorer and recommended methods for file naming, structuring your projects and managing revisions.

Managing your SOLIDWORKS files/data manually using Windows Explorer can be done, but it does have its limitations. As products develop, assemblies become larger with more and more complex data sets. There is no fixed marker of when you should look to implement more secure and professional management systems, some say from the start, but there are indicators.

Our next webinar in a series looking at managing CAD data we explored the key reasons companies choose to upgrade to SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional. Understand how you may develop your data management in the future with an upgrade to PDM Professional.

Our penultimate webinar in our series looking at managing CAD data we explore SOLIDWORKS Manage, the powerful tool for managing CAD data, processes and project delivery. This set of advanced data management tools harness the file management capabilities of SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional and adds powerful project, process and record management capabilities including interactive dashboards and reports.

Prasad Bhonsule and Graham Keating, two of Solid Solutions' PDM experts, answered questions around using managing SOLIDWORKS data. Our final live webinar in a series looking at managing CAD data
