Workgroup PDM Structure

  • A computer can contain only one vault. The vault directory cannot be a hidden or read-only directory.

Each file in the vault has metadata. Metadata is a series of text files that contain server options (user information, revision schemes, etc.) and file information (revision history, owner, etc.).

Workgroup PDM does not use a database. Microsoft® Access is not required.

  • The vault must have a Viewer license to use Workgroup PDM Viewer.

  • A license for Workgroup PDM API is included with the licenses of the SolidWorks client and the SolidWorks Explorer client.

  • Clients and the VaultAdmin, API, and Workgroup PDM Viewer can be installed on the same computer as the vault, or on different computers.
