Enterprise PDM Menus

New menus for the SolidWorks® Enterprise PDM client make the commands that you use most frequently easier to find.

All commands are grouped into four Enterprise PDM menus at the top of the file view pane.

The new menus reduce the length of the shortcut menu. However, the most frequently used commands are still available by right-clicking.

The commands available depend on your selection.

Click Actions to access actions you can perform such as checking files in or out.

Click Modify to access commands that let you make modifications, such as changing a file's state.

Click Display to control how vault information is displayed in the file view pane. The Options submenu lets you choose display options such as Set focus to active configuration and Show bitmap for SolidWorks files. Display also lets you view a selected document's history, open it in the SolidWorks Enterprise PDM File Viewer, or view its properties.

Click Tools to access tools such as EPDM Searches, Copy Tree, the Notification Editor, the Report Generator, or the EPDM Administration tool.

To access the File Explorer online help, click Get help on the Windows Explorer toolbar or select Help > SolidWorks Enterprise PDM Help on the Windows Explorer menu bar.

On Windows 7 systems, Windows Explorer menus are suppressed by default. To display them, click Organize > Layout and select Menu bar.
