I am looking into the possibility of writing some code to manage the PDM Pro local cache for a specific group of users. PDM Pro allows to specify folders to be cached but caching entire folders for them would represent too many files. I am wondering if it would be possible to cache only parts and assemblies (*.sldprt and *.sldasm), never drawings (*.slddrw).

I have done a fair share of macros for SolidWorks and for PDM Workgroup but none at all for PDM Pro. We have been using PDM Pro only since June of this year.

Anyone has any comments on the feasibility of making a macro to get the latest version of a bunch of files?

Anyone has any pointers to get me started?
