File Version Upgrade Tool

The SOLIDWORKS PDM File Version Upgrade Tool has the following enhancements to improve your productivity:

  • You can specify a CSV file under Search Files To Upgrade in the SOLIDWORKS PDM File Version Upgrade tool. The .csv file has two columns, the Document ID, and the Folder ID. The CSV file is useful to narrow down the search results by letting you mention specific files to upgrade instead of clearing the check boxes in the later Search Results page.
  • You can select Latest version with revisions under Version Settings > Overwrite existing versions of files > Overwrite.
    You can select either Latest version with revisions or Version with a revision.

    With this option, you get a version attached with the latest revision. For example, if the following are the revisions and versions for a file, this option picks version 5 of the file to overwrite.

    Version Revision
    1  
    2  
    3 A
    4  
    5 B
    6  
  • In the logging feature, you can:
    • Add a prefix and suffix to the log file name.
    • Get details of the error in the logs if the upgrade fails.
    • Get details if the tool skips a file during upgrade.
