Settings Dialog Box - Adding Files

Added extensions

Enter extensions for files that SOLIDWORKS PDM should always try to add, even when they are not saved by way of the Save as dialog box.

Separate the file extensions with semicolons.

For example, when the user creates a new Inventor Project file and points it to a vault path, the file is not added to the vault and ends up as a local file. By adding the extension .ipj to the list, it will be added.

Excluded files

Enter patterns for files with extensions or names that should not be added to the vault. The pattern can contain wildcards such as * or ?.

For example, some .tmp files trigger an automatic add to the vault when they are created by an application. If you want them to be only stored locally, add the pattern *.tmp to the excluded files list.

Add new files silently without showing a notification balloon

Files that are saved from applications to a vault view will not show a notification balloon upon success. Warnings will still display.
