SOLIDWORKS PDM integration is part of SOLIDWORKS Inspection Standalone
starting with release 2018 Service Pack 2.0. It helps users include quality management as
part of the product development process.

Out, Check In, Search, and Get Latest
Version using the SOLIDWORKS PDM tab in the CommandManager.
