SOLIDWORKS Manage SOLIDWORKS Manage is an advanced data management system that extends the global file management and application integrations enabled by SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional. SOLIDWORKS Manage is the key element in providing Distributed Data Management. Contents Adding a References Folder Structure You can add a folder structure to organize references similar to the existing folder structure for related files. Alternate Options for Mapping Properties SOLIDWORKS Manage lets you provide alternate options to map part numbers and description values from SOLIDWORKS PDM files. Bill of Materials Performance The administrator can specify the number of BOM levels to load when users click the BOM tab of a record for the first time. BOM Tab Content Indicator Changing the SOLIDWORKS PDM State Through a Process Output You can change the state of a promoted SOLIDWORKS PDM file through a process output. Configuration File Utility Copying Custom Values in BOM Items You can use the Copy From dialog box to copy custom field values when you copy BOM items from one BOM variant to another. Document Templates When you create a new document record, you can select the source file from a SOLIDWORKS Manage document object or a SOLIDWORKS PDM file. Duplicate BOM Line Items You can add a duplicate row to a BOM. You can assign alternate values to the custom BOM field properties in the new line. Export Template Configuration The export template configuration has new options to handle more specialized instances. Field Group Selection You can hide certain field groups when you create a new SOLIDWORKS PDM file from SOLIDWORKS Manage. Full Web Client SOLIDWORKS Manage has a full web client that has the look and feel of the desktop client. Hours for Working Days in Projects Importing BOM Data from a Microsoft Excel File You can import bill of materials (BOM) data from a Microsoft® Excel® file. The file must be based on the template defined for the BOM type. Inactive Configuration Handling in Processes When you add a parent record to a process, the inactive configurations are automatically hidden. Item Detail Pane for BOM View You can view additional BOM details in the item detail pane in the Property Card. Linked Record Objects Linked record objects let you use separate but connected items to represent product structures. List of Recent Documents Manual Quantity Synchronization The manual quantity column is synchronized with SOLIDWORKS PDM BOM manual edits. Object Type Hyperlinks You can select a particular record to view its details from the multiple values in an object type field. Performance Improvement in Synchronization Performance is improved when you synchronize SOLIDWORKS PDM objects with a large number of files and folders. The Synchronization details dialog box displays the synchronization steps. Rich Text in Memo Fields SOLIDWORKS PDM Records in Where Used Tab Splitting an Auto Number You can split auto numbers and add a delimiter if required. Splitting changes only what the users see. The number in the system remains unchanged. Splitting Projects into Stages You can split the stages of a project to add nonworking time. This can provide a better view of the amount of work required to complete a stage, the start date, and the completion date. Support for Internal Components Thumbnail Images of SOLIDWORKS PDM Files Thumbnail images of SOLIDWORKS PDM files are available in SOLIDWORKS Manage, for example, in the main grid and in BOM views. The application creates these images on check-in from SOLIDWORKS. Updating SOLIDWORKS PDM Variables You can update SOLIDWORKS PDM data card variables with field values from SOLIDWORKS Manage. The field types in SOLIDWORKS Manage can drive data into SOLIDWORKS PDM.
