Project Icons
SolidWorks Workgroup PDM organizes SolidWorks documents based on the SolidWorks
hierarchy. For example, components of an assembly are indented directly
under the assembly. For non-SolidWorks documents, you specify in the Check In Document
dialog box where to place documents in the project tree. Documents can
appear more than once in a tree.
Icons represent the projects, documents, and the Workgroup PDM
vault.

extension appear with the default application icon.
