Mass Drawing Check-Out through PDM?
(OP)
Is it possible to transfer all drawings under a high-level assembly from PDM to a local drive at once? With the assemblies you can select to open the top-level assembly and then select all of the files to transfer. Is there something similar that would do the same thing with drawing files for those parts? Right now we either have to open each drawing or drag & drop each drawing file from PDM to the folder that we want them in, which is a very time consuming task.

There is no bulk check-out feature for PDMWorks 2004 in the adminstrator tool, just bulk check-in.

You can find more in the PDMWorks API help.

2. Use fiber optics
3. Clean out your working directory and
4. Clean out your temp folders.
These things will speedup PDM.

-disk I/O - the faster the better, SCSI if you got 'em
-fast RAM - DDR2?
-as Bradley said, gigabit LAN at least on the server end
-documents and service on the same box
