Re: Is there a way to automatically check in, but keep checked out Solidworks files?
John,
You might be able to do it automatically with #Task but I wouldn't want to do it myself. I want to decide when a file is good to be checked in. There is an option to keep files checked out on check in you can see the option in the picture below. Not sure if this is set by default on standard installation of PDM Pro or not.

Yes, I know about that. I'm looking for a way to automatically do that to avoid data loss in the event of a computer crash like I had recently.
Not everyone is disciplined enough to remember to check things in daily.

I have a task add-in available for purchase that will take care of this.

is this a per seat license or a site license?

The license is per company. Multi-site is fine. There are no maintenance fees and it's a one time purchase.

Your link seems to be broken. I'd like to present this to my GM, purchasing & IT department for installation and budget.

Seems my site was being hit bad by spambots. It's back up.

If it is possible, could you send me a video or something to show how this task works, so I can verify that this will work automatically?
We want to be sure of what we are buying, and all we have so far are these messages.

It is a trial so you're free to download and test it. It will stop running after 30 days.
If you'd prefer a short video let me know and I'll create one.

I downloaded and installed the task add in. We tested it over the weekend with a few users and it worked very well.
I've submitted it to my general manager for approval.
Thank you for your help.
