Client

Contents

• Client Overview
  

  The client enables users to check documents in and out of the vault, increment revision and lifecycle status, and generate reports.

• Vault View
  

  The vault view (the lower pane on the Task Pane File Explorer tab) displays the projects and documents in the vault. Icons display information about the projects and documents.

• Local View
  

  The local view (the upper pane on the Task Pane File Explorer tab) displays the folders and documents on your computer, with icons showing the documents' relations to documents in the vault.

• SolidWorks Workgroup Options/SolidWorks Explorer Options
  

  You can access the Options dialog box from either the SolidWorks client or SolidWorks Explorer.

• Updating Clients
  

  After a new version of the vault has been installed, you can update the clients (both SolidWorks and SolidWorks Explorer clients). No service pack is required.

• Multi-user Environment
  

  Starting at PDMWorks 2005, ownership in SolidWorks Workgroup PDM is bound to read/write access in SolidWorks.
