SOLIDWORKS PDM Tab

SOLIDWORKS Composer provides an integrated SOLIDWORKS PDM ribbon tab. You must have SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional installed.

Using the SOLIDWORKS PDM ribbon tab, you can perform vault commands and view file information when the file is open in Composer. You can access these SOLIDWORKS PDM functions from Composer:

  • Change State
  • Check In
  • Check Out
  • Undo Check Out
  • Get Latest Version
  • Get Version
  • Search and Select in Windows Explorer
  • Show Card
  • Information section. Displays details about the Local Version, Local Revision, Checked Out By, Checked Out In, and Workflow State.

If there is no file open in Composer, only Search is available. If you open a file that is saved outside the PDM vault, Search and Select in Windows Explorer are available. Once you save an active Composer file in the PDM vault, the other PDM commands are available.

For more information, see SOLIDWORKS PDM Ribbon in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Help at help.solidworks.com.
