Ok, so I don't know if I'm completely missing the boat here, but...I'm trying to write a VB program to change the descriptions of a few hundred parts in my PDM system. I can log into the vault, take ownership of a document, and access the description of the part, but I can't change the value of...
Hi, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to change the properties of many parts at once in PDMWorks. There has been a request at my company to change the descriptions of 300 parts that are already in PDMWorks. I have an excel spreadsheet that details the changes, and I was wondering if...
Hi, I'm trying to see if it's possible to link PDMWorks to my MRP system. The MRP system allows me to link a file to each part in my bill of materials, and I'd like to link the SolidWorks drawing. Is there any command I can use to directly open the latest rev of a part/drawing from PDMWorks by...
I am currently trying to give our purchasing group access to files in the PDMWorks vault. None of the intended users have used SolidWorks, and have no need to access the part/assembly/drawing files. What I would like them to be able to see are the PDF files of signed, released prints that we...
I have recently deleted some files from the vault by using the PDMWorks client. In addition to the vault, I have a copy of the files saved elsewhere on the network. After deleting the files, I decided that this was a mistake, and checked the copies that I had made into the vault with the same...

Our current revisioning scheme is as follows: we use a combination letter and numbering scheme to indicate release and version, for example -.01, -.02, A.01, A.02. When a part is released, the second half of the...
Hi,
My question concerns revision control with PDMWorks. In the past we've controlled revisions by giving a part and drawing a letter in the actual part name to tell what revision we're at. For example, 100000-A.sldprt and 100000-B.sldprt would be sequential revs for part 100000. Now we're...
I'm trying to figure out if I can link a revision table in my drawing to PDMWorks. What I'd like to do is have the user enter a description of what they've changed when they check a part into PDMWorks, and then have the drawing table update with the new rev and description. The rev table...
Hello,
I'm a new user of SolidWorks, but am quite familiar with modling software as I have been using Pro/E for years. I have to say that I am very impressed with SolidWorks on the surface. But anyway, in Pro/E it is possible to prompt the user to input parameters for part number...
