Microsoft Office Add-in (For SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional only)

The Microsoft Office add-in provides an integrated SOLIDWORKS PDM ribbon in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents.

Using the ribbon, you can perform vault commands and view file information when the file is open in the Microsoft Office application.

All SOLIDWORKS PDM license types can be used with the integration. However, you must have a Contributor, CAD Editor, or PSL license to check files out and in.

The SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional office Add-in does not support file operations on files with digital signatures. You need to perform the file operations in the File Explorer.
