Handling Large Design Review (LDR) and Detailing Mode in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Add-in (2024 SP2)

For assemblies opened in Large Design Review (LDR) mode and for drawings opened in Detailing mode, you can view the SOLIDWORKS files structure in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Task Pane (along with icons) similar to the FeatureManager design tree.

Because the display of both the FeatureManager design tree and the Task Pane tree are identical, you can work on the product structure with more clarity and ease.

For the Detailing mode, the PDM Task Pane tree displays child components only to the first level similar to the FeatureManager design tree.

For the Large Design Review (LDR) mode, you can perform SOLIDWORKS PDM operations such as Check in and Check out on the components from both the FeatureManager design tree and the Task Pane assembly tree.
