Hello,
I would like to get a general feel for the SolidWorks PDM capabilities.
- Are there modules that will manage other CAD data? Catia? Pro/E? AutoCad (thermal desktop)? Mentor Graphics (pcad)?
- What is the ease for full change control? Class I or II changes that may or may not require CCB? Are the workflows easy to customize?
- How is access control handled? Can you isolate data from users per product line or company sites? Can you flag datasets as ‘ITAR’ classification?
- What are the MRP export capabilities? Can you build a ‘MBOM’ of parts based on the CAD dataset ‘EBOM’? Will this export into say SAP or Visibility?
- Can you publish drawings (PDF) from the controlled CAD datasets showing release status with watermarks?
Thanks in advance, Kathy
forget about Workgroup, it is very limited.
pose the question in Enterprise, it's SQL based and has more integration capabilities and power.
