Hi All,
I was hoping that someone can help with this one. I am currently doing some automation with Workgroup PDM and I want to utilise Triggers/Notifications however I am unsure what is the best way to implement them.
In my mind I want a windows service that monitors the MSMQ queue for...
Hi Macduff,
They weren't too sure how the migration was going to be handled, however he did point out that there are two small utilities located within "C:\Program Files\PDMWorks Workgroup\Vault" called "pdmwexport.exe" and "pdmwimport.exe" which at the moment are supposed to be used for...
Well, I have just finished some PDM training and my VAR has unofficially informed me that Solidworks have basically halted any further development on Workgroup PDM, as we may have seen over the past few major releases there have been very little new features/functionality added.
What he...
Hi All,
I am currently implementing PDMWorks Workgroup at our company. We use a non-descriptive 7 digit part number for all files.
We are a projects based company manufacturing bespoke equipment for food processing plants. Although the majority of the projects are bespoke we do use alot of...
Its a pretty mixed response on this issue......either everything has gone perfect or its been a complete disaster story. Unfortunately its been the latter for me.
I will have to adopt the approach of "if its not broken don't try to fix it".
I have fond this to be a big problem for a long time, definitely in 2007 and 2008. Its a real pain because less experienced engineers have managed to make a mess of the original project files, luckily enough we had backups, but this is a real serious problem. No when we copy files we have to...
Hie berkshire, I can really understand your headache with this one. My experience of XP SP3 has been a bad experience also.................however slightly different.
One Monday of last week, I unpacked a brand new Dell workstation (tested on the SW website), powered up, connected to the...
I keep getting an error message (Error 1402) when installing DWGEditor, e-Drawings and SW Explorer. Has anyone else experienced this error, if so how did you resolve it.
Thanks,

Not to sound too stupid, but what is the main reason for writing an application in a particular language?. Why use C# instead of VB.NET or vice versa?. Is it simply a matter of what the preferred language of the programmer is or is there another reason.
Example: If two applications were written...
I always pre-select where possible, because 3DSketches can lead to stupid headaches if you're not paying attention. Attached is an example of a few 12mm S/St plates that got manufactured and for some reason they wouldn't match up with their corresponding clearance hole plates. The clearance hole...
Hi All,
I'm new to using VB.NET and I am trying to do some api stuff with PDMWorks and I just cannot seem to get my application to connect to PDMWorks. Below is the error message I receive, if any can shed some light on what it means in plain english and more importantly what do I need to do to...
Hi All,
I had a few comments/complaints from the rest of the guys in our design office in relation to file reference issues when an Project (ie. a top level assembly) is copied using Pack & Go. The top level assembly file is selected when in SW Explorer and all files and drawings are checked to...
Hi Bradley,
I had a bit of a play around with PDMWorks Workgroup on a test vault I setup on my home PC. I have been testing project naming and different ways of viewing and searching for files. It just lead me to yet another question. I cna definitely see the benefits.
In order to re-use parts...
Hi Bradley,
At the moment we use a 4 digit project code for each conveyor system we build. If I want to copy a previous project as a starting point for a new project, I simply use SW Explorer (Pack & Go) and copy all files (parts, assemblies and drawings) into a new folder and also change the 4...
Hi All,
I work for a company that manufactures conveyor systems and bespoke equipment for food processing plants.
Recently we have decided on a 7-digit non-significant sequential part numbering scheme (xxxxxxx). This number will be used as both the part number in our custom properties and also...
