You can create a task to convert files on your computer or create a distributed task to run on a group of computers.
You must have a SOLIDWORKS Professional, SOLIDWORKS Premium, or SOLIDWORKS Office license to create a distributed task.
Start
Network Monitor before you create a distributed task to ensure that paths are set correctly.
For distributed tasks, all files must be in shared folders. See Folders for Distributed Tasks.
To create a conversion task:
The task and its title, scheduled time, scheduled date, and status
appear in the
Tasks panel. Distributed tasks that you and other users schedule appear in Network Monitor.
If the task acts on more than one file, a sub-task is generated for
each file.
If you selected
Backup task files in
Advanced Options, a backup copy of each file is saved to a
.zip file. When the task completes, the status changes to Completed.
If your backup files include Unicode file paths, use a zip file extraction application that supports UTF-8 encoding.
