PDM Works and outside Contractors
PDM Works and outside Contractors
(OP)
I'm the lone ranger here, and coming from a long history with PDM works, installed it at the company, even though I'm the only user (revision control is a no brainer). My question, or rather poll is has anyone else dealt with having outside contractors using Solidworks, and trying to get them to handle the check-in's to avoid myself having to do a ton of data manipulation. I have three senarios:
1. Contractor has PDM works on personal laptop, gets a company login to our domain, links to our server. Con: No problem as long as versions of PDM are at same SP.
2. Have a separate computer with standalone PDM where they will use jump drives/CDs/whatever to move files and check in. Con: PDM standalone costs $$, and computer too.
3. They get network access, put the files somewhere and I still have to check in all the files. Con: I'm still futsin' with the files.
Any other "in-expensive" ideas?
