PDMWorks Workgroup
(OP)
Hi all,
We finally got our upgraged to SW Pro and have a PDMWorks question. How do get PDMworks to work within the SW session? It was in the addin's a few versions back, but can't find to add in the toolbar. PDMworks works when I open SW Explorer, but can't get to run with SW.
Thanks,

After that, it'll be in the flyout on the right side.

IT doesn't know the difference when they install, I'm guessing. You may wish to let them know, or do the proper thing and take control of software installations for engineering tools out of their hands. :)

A star for you. I was telling IT about the "Other Tool" button, and how PDMWorks was inside there and need to install it. This comfirms my statement, and will pass this thread onto them.
I wish I could take control, but won't happen here sir.
Have a good T-day everyone.
Thanks,

Try this fisrt... Go to the add remove programs under the control panel and find the SolidWorks Explorer entry. Click on it and click change. This will go through the install process. Under add/remove components add the PDMWorks Plug-in. I seem to remember the PDMWorks plug-in not installing at first, so this had to be done. Not exactly obvious to the end users.

RE: PDMWorks Workgroup
You are right, sometimes. This solution doesn't always work. I've guessed this is so because SolidWorks may have been originally installed from an image file that wasn't configured properly to begin with (didn't include PDMWorks Add-in when creating the image file). Either way, because this doesn't always work, I default to just using the method I listed above.

When you get hold of the DVD, copy it to a folder on your machine. Then when the install asks for the DVD you should be able to re-direct it to the folder.
But the better way would be to have IT add the correct scripting to the Admin Image.
