Frequently asked questions
What is SOLIDWORKS PDM?
SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management) is a data management system built to help engineering teams control, organize, and share SOLIDWORKS files and related documents. It provides version control, revision history, access permissions, and centralized file storage so that everyone on the team is always working from the correct, most current data.
What PDM services does CADimensions offer?
CADimensions offers three core PDM services: new installations, version upgrades, and server moves. Installations cover full deployment of SOLIDWORKS PDM from scratch. Upgrades keep your team on the current version of SOLIDWORKS and PDM. Server moves handle data migration, server OS upgrades, SQL server moves and upgrades, and transitions to new hardware or platforms.
How do I know if I need a PDM system?
If your engineering team is managing files manually, struggling with version conflicts, losing track of revisions, or experiencing difficulty sharing data across departments, PDM is likely the right solution. CADimensions can walk you through a consultation to assess your current workflow and determine whether PDM fits your needs.
Can CADimensions handle PDM for teams of any size?
Yes. CADimensions has experience with installations of all sizes, from small engineering teams to larger multi-user environments. The approach is customized to your specific requirements and business objectives.
Why not just have our IT team manage the SOLIDWORKS installation?
SOLIDWORKS and PDM have a complex ecosystem that goes beyond a standard software installation. IT teams typically manage general infrastructure and may not have deep familiarity with SOLIDWORKS-specific configurations, vault setup, user permissions, or the dependencies between SOLIDWORKS and PDM. CADimensions has a proven process specifically for this environment, which reduces risk and gets teams up and running faster.
What does a SOLIDWORKS PDM server move involve?
A server move with CADimensions covers the full transition of your SOLIDWORKS PDM environment from one server to another. This includes data migration, SQL server moves and upgrades, server OS upgrades, and any other changes needed to ensure your vault and all associated data transfers cleanly without data loss or downtime beyond what is planned.
Does CADimensions provide training after a PDM installation or upgrade?
Yes. CADimensions offers support and training to ensure your team can use the PDM system effectively after implementation. Ongoing support is also available to address issues and maintain optimal performance over time.
What is the difference between SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard and PDM Professional?
PDM Standard is a file management system included with some SOLIDWORKS licenses, providing basic version control and centralized storage. PDM Professional adds advanced workflow automation, broader integration capabilities, reporting tools, and support for larger and more complex environments. CADimensions can help you evaluate which version is the right fit for your team during the consultation.
