Hi all,
I have just got PDM work group, Still trying to work out how to use this. But what I really would like to know is that we have our own created solidworks drawing template at the moment. When we create a part and then enter it into our own solidworks drawing template, how can I get the template to update the revisions and the reason for drawing change when PDM workgroup creates a new revision?
I hope I have explained it well enough. Just would like to know how to set up the link.
Also is there a useful guide someone could point me towards for learning the basics on pdm workgroup?
Thanks
Ben
Ben, do you know about adding custom properties to part/assembly files?...
You can add a custom property to the part/assy and modify your drawing templates to show these properties in your drawing. You can also add these custom properties into the PDM system
try adding this as a note in your drawing....$PRPSHEET:{Number, Part No}
This should show your part number in the drawing as long as there is a corresponding property in the part file
Use $PRPSHEET:{??????} to add other properties to the drawing template....
In the PDM Admin tool, you can also add these properties to the New Property tab
