Epdm and workgroup access

Bobby Penland Mar 19, 2012 9:21 AM

One of the divisions in our company has enterprise PDM so they let me have access to their system since we will be going from workgroup to ePDM soon. They gave me access to their tests systems. The problem is now I now longer have access to workgroup when I start SolidWorks. How do I get back access to the workgroup vault when I start SolidWorks?

Tools -> Add-ins and check SolidWorks Workgroup PDM 20xx.

  Thanks Wayne,
  I no longer have the workgroup add-in option available. I can access the Workgroups explorer and see the files in workgroup.

    OK, you will then need to modify your SolidWorks installation to include Workgroup PDM.

      How do I modify the Installation to include workgroup? I have been using workgroup on this computer for several years. I ran the repair workgroup from the installation disk and no luck. When I open an existing drawing the toolbox also wants to point to the ePDM toolbox. SolidWorks is only recognizing ePDM on this computer now.

        Workgroup is actually part of SolidWorks Explorer so you'll need to modify the installation and when you get a list of products, expand out SolidWorks Explorer and you'll see Workgroup PDM. Hopefully, it will be unchecked so you can check it and install it.
        
        Really weird though to see this. I've been running both for many years now with no problems.
