The fourth dialog box concerns the management of PDM documents.

 

In an environment SOLIDWORKS Enterprise PDM Some utilities allow for copying and duplicating projects that require document management in relation to the PDM vault. We will indicate here what the tool should do.

  • Extract documents The action of selecting a directory or multiple files from a PDM vault will require the files to be extracted before being processed by the tool.
  • Archive documents at the end of processing When the tool has completed the requested processing, the files will be archived in the PDM vault.
  • Replace the version ... : Useful option since the 2017 version.
  • Add an archiving comment When archiving PDM documents after processing by the tool, it is possible to add a directly definable comment in this input field. Example: BatchProperties - This indicates that the archiving is done with the BatchProperties tool.
  • Empty the cache at the end of processing When the selected files in the PDM vault have been processed by the tool, it is possible to clear the local cache automatically.

If the tool suite myPDMtools   is not yet registered you can do so by clicking on the "Register myPDMtools" button.
