Import PDM card dimensions to model
Import PDM card dimensions to model
(OP)
I am wondering if it is possible to create a card in PDMworks that allows you to fill in an ID, OD, and Thickness and then it will create a configuration to a already existing file and use the dimensions imported on the card????

Speaking in general this might be accomplished via some combination of the PDMWorks and SolidWorks API. I would write a macro launched within SolidWorks that gives me a form (i.e. card) with input fields. Then once you plug in the values hit a command button that creates my model and (optionally) dumps it into PDMWorks.
If you do a lot of this type of thing then you also might consider DriveWorks.
Hope this is helps,
