So I ran in to a little snag today testing out the administrative image for the 2015-2016 SolidWorks Education Edition that the FIRST Robotics team I mentor will be using this year.
I installed Solidworks, as well as the x64 workgroup PDM client. But when I go to Tools>Add-ins, there is no workgroup add in. Explorer works fine, and I can see the vault, but obviously can't check in and out parts. Am I an idiot? Where did the add in for PDM go?
This edition of SW has some pretty big changes from the 2015 edition I use at work, and from the 2014-2015 student edition. I know that Workgroup PDM will be replaced with some from of "enterprise PDM-lite" in 2016 - did this happen with the education edition? Are student groups not able to use a PDM system this year (that would really ruin my plans)...
Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
As a first guess - is it possible that you have fallen victim to the recently mentioned Windows Update problem? This has not seemed to affect everyone but can cause problems with addins and updates. There are several threads about this in this forum.
