Evan is right, you don't need to take ownership of the document in order to change the properties.

Here is the solution! I'm going to get a document called "test.SLDPRT" and change the description to "SAMPLE DESCRIPTION" (assume I've already connected to the vault as the pdmwadmin with a connection variable called "conn"). Dim part As PDMWDocument Dim propertiestlist As PDMWProperties Dim...

PDMAdmin, It may say that on the website, but API is now included with PDMWorks 2005. I'm running it right now, and I don't have a license for advanced server.

Bradley, I don't have advanced server. I am running 2005, which gives me access to API, but not triggers (i believe).

Ok, so I don't know if I'm completely missing the boat here, but...I'm trying to write a VB program to change the descriptions of a few hundred parts in my PDM system. I can log into the vault, take ownership of a document, and access the description of the part, but I can't change the value of...

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to change the properties of many parts at once in PDMWorks. There has been a request at my company to change the descriptions of 300 parts that are already in PDMWorks. I have an excel spreadsheet that details the changes, and I was wondering if...

Hi, I'm trying to see if it's possible to link PDMWorks to my MRP system. The MRP system allows me to link a file to each part in my bill of materials, and I'd like to link the SolidWorks drawing. Is there any command I can use to directly open the latest rev of a part/drawing from PDMWorks by...

I am currently trying to give our purchasing group access to files in the PDMWorks vault. None of the intended users have used SolidWorks, and have no need to access the part/assembly/drawing files. What I would like them to be able to see are the PDF files of signed, released prints that we...

Sorry, kinda just tuned everything out once I found the solution. I am running PDMWorks 2004 SP0. I'm running SolidWorks 2004 SP1. Hope that helps

Thanks for all of the suggestions. The problem was solved by rebooting the server computer.

I have recently deleted some files from the vault by using the PDMWorks client. In addition to the vault, I have a copy of the files saved elsewhere on the network. After deleting the files, I decided that this was a mistake, and checked the copies that I had made into the vault with the same...

I guess my main problem is that I have a released file that is at rev A. I want to do some additional work on this file, but I'm not sure I want to release it. So I do the work and check it in so that the rev is now A.01. At this point, A is still the released part. A.01 includes the latest...

I wanted to get some feedback on how people deal with this problem in PDMWorks... Our current revisioning scheme is as follows: we use a combination letter and numbering scheme to indicate release and version, for example -.01, -.02, A.01, A.02. When a part is released, the second half of the...

Hi, My question concerns revision control with PDMWorks. In the past we've controlled revisions by giving a part and drawing a letter in the actual part name to tell what revision we're at. For example, 100000-A.sldprt and 100000-B.sldprt would be sequential revs for part 100000. Now we're...

I'm working with SW 2004, and I'm trying to display the entire revision history in my drawing. jason

I'm trying to figure out if I can link a revision table in my drawing to PDMWorks. What I'd like to do is have the user enter a description of what they've changed when they check a part into PDMWorks, and then have the drawing table update with the new rev and description. The rev table...

Hello, I'm a new user of SolidWorks, but am quite familiar with modling software as I have been using Pro/E for years. I have to say that I am very impressed with SolidWorks on the surface. But anyway, in Pro/E it is possible to prompt the user to input parameters for part number...
