SOLIDWORKS Inspection integrates with SOLIDWORKS PDM. The integration
covers the SOLIDWORKS Inspection add-in to SOLIDWORKS and the SOLIDWORKS Inspection
standalone application.
SOLIDWORKS Inspection standalone supports:
- Variable mapping for inspection project files
SOLIDWORKS PDM lets you map block attributes for the following
properties:
- SWIPrjProperty defines mapping
for Inspection Project Properties.
- SWICustomProperty defines mapping for Inspection
Custom Properties.
The attribute names available for
SWIPrjProperty for Project Properties are:
- Part Name
- Part Number
- Part Revision
- Document Name
- Document Number
- Document Revision
- File reference handling
SOLIDWORKS PDM creates references
between the inspection project files (.ixprj) and output deliverables (.xlsx,.pdf). In SOLIDWORKS PDM, the Contains tab displays inspection project
files as parent files and output deliverables as child references.
In the SOLIDWORKS Inspection add-in, references are created
between a drawing file and output deliverables files or between the
inspection project file and output files.
- SOLIDWORKS PDM ribbon
SOLIDWORKS Inspection standalone
includes the SOLIDWORKS PDM ribbon. You can access SOLIDWORKS PDM features
such as Check-Out, Check-In, Search, Get Version, and Get Latest Version
using the SOLIDWORKS PDM tab in the
CommandManager. This integration helps you manage and centralize the storage
of inspection projects plus the files and reports related to them.
