SOLIDWORKS PDM Performance Improvements (2023 SP04)

SOLIDWORKS PDM 2023 makes significant performance improvements in the presence of high latency to SOLIDWORKS PDM servers.

The improvements might vary depending on the amount of latency, size of datasets, and operations.
  • The following operations perform better when latency to the database server is high:
    • Check-in
    • Check-in with automatic transition
    • Undo Check-out
    • Interactive operations such as menus, shortcut menus, reference dialog boxes, SOLIDWORKS PDM File Explorer tabs
  • The following operations perform better when latency to the archive server is high:
    • Add files
    • Change state on file modifications
    • Get files
    • Get latest version of files

In SOLIDWORKS PDM 2023 SP04, the mechanism for loading of SOLIDWORKS PDM and custom add-ins is reworked. As a result, operations such as logging in to a vault and starting the SOLIDWORKS PDM Search tool perform significantly better.
