In the SOLIDWORKS
PDM File Explorer, you can check
out
files while performing a Get operation on them,
for example, Get Latest Version, provided you have
checkout permission granted.
In the
Get dialog box, when you select
Check
Out for single or multiple files, the Get
option for these files is selected by default to perform both the operations at the same
time.
The
combined Get and Check
out operation simplifies your workflow.
You can add the Check out column in the
Get dialog box of SOLIDWORKS PDM File
Explorer. The
customization is done using the Customizable Columns view for Get file operations columns in the SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration
tool.
The following conditions apply for the
combined
Get and
Check
out operation:
- If the get operation fails, checkout does not proceed.
- If checkout fails, the get operation still proceeds.
- When running the get operation for an older version, if you
select
Check
out,
you get the specified version with a checkout performed.
