Hi experts,
I have been using solidworks for more than a year and I really like it! Now our company is starting to utilize PDM but not officially started yet. None of us has used PDM before. Here are questions I have. Keeping it simple.
1. Is it possible to search parts/assemblies based on Custom Property?
2. Is it possible to search parts/assemblies based on Globals?
3. Is there a guideline in managing templates for different part types in terms of things around custom property? Would you put "PART TYPE" custom property to differentiate "SPRING" from "SCREW"?
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
- question 1:
Search in Number and Descriptions is a search in Custom Property. What, does not it work?
If other Custom Property are necessary - they need to be added to the Card.
If not all Custom Property are connected to the PDM variables and search in Contents of files is necessary - it is necessary to include and set up Indexing.
If a question of something another - probably it is necessary to describe it in more detail.
- question 2:
What Globals mean? For example? Perhaps, Indexing resolves this issue.
- question 3
too it is possible to understand ambiguously. More information or an example would be advisable.
