The SOLIDWORKS PDM menu bar contains navigation buttons and menus of commands that can be performed for the selected file or folder.
While the menu bar is displayed for all File Explorer views, the options on the menus are determined by:
- Your user permissions
- Whether you have selected a file or a folder
- The SOLIDWORKS PDM view (File, BOM, or Search) that is active
- Whether you or your administrator have customized menus by editing your user settings in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration tool.
