Integration with SOLIDWORKS PDM

The SOLIDWORKS PDM-based design and data management workflow for electronic design uses SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional.

You can:
  • Create SOLIDWORKS PCB projects and design files using SOLIDWORKS PDM.
  • Design file check-in, check-out, and automated versioning of all electronic files through the SOLIDWORKS PDM File Explorer.
  • Create data cards and Where Used items for design files.
  • Centralize the storage of electronic design data under the control of the SOLIDWORKS PDM vault.
  • Notify the workflow processes at specific milestones.
  • Use a formal release process with electronic approvals and sign offs.

SOLIDWORKS PCB-PDM Connector

The SOLIDWORKS PCB-PDM Connector integrates SOLIDWORKS PCB and SOLIDWORKS PDM to extend SOLIDWORKS PDM-based design methodology.

The integration lets you:
  • Synchronize SOLIDWORKS PCB/PDM variables and parameters.
  • Create a SOLIDWORKS PDM-based Bill of Materials.
  • Integrate projects and documentation check-in, check-out, and archive.
  • Generate virtual data cards and Where Used items for electronics parts.
