Assigning Data Cards to Files and Folders of a Template (2024 SP1)

In the SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration tool, while creating and editing a template, you can assign a folder card and multiple file cards to a folder.

In SOLIDWORKS PDM File Explorer, right-click and click New in the right pane. When the software creates the files and folders structure, the respective data cards are assigned automatically.
Changes to the file extensions for a card, assigned to a template, outside of the template configuration are not recognized.

In the SOLDWORKS Administration tool, under Cards , for each file, folder, and template card, you can right-click and see where the card is used. For example, click Cards > Folder Cards > Folder Card > Show Where Used. This option is useful when deleting a file or a folder data card.
