    PDM Works vault transfer

    Data encryption, yes but LoJack would be too late. Pretty funny but serious guys --thanks! I totally understand the issue of security and I will be the last person to hand this data over to anyone that easy and simple. Do you see any issues or advantages copying the vault to an external drive...

    PDM Works vault transfer

    I have a need to use PDM Works during my travel to Asia. The option of accessing the vault remotely is not a practical solution. Since I am the only one at the moment using/accessing the vault, my thought was to copy the vault on a portable drive or use my laptop drive so I can have full...

    Dell M90 Laptop

    I just recently purchased an M90. This is a workhorse machine. It's a little pricy but well worth the performance it offers. I also purchased a 23" 16x9 (landscape) monitor for my office desktop when I'm not mobile. Although, I find myself not even bothering connecting it to an external...

    Automating Custom Property Insertion...

    Is there a utility I can use for adding a standard set of custom property fields on existing files? My thought is to populate these files as a standard specially prepping for PDM Works migration. Thanks for the advise. SD

    PDM Works Web Portal question

    Is Web Portal for PDM Works included already with Office Pro or is this a separate package altogether? Can someone describe the capabilities of PDM works Web Portal? Can non-SolidWorks users access or view files from the vault using e-drawings from PDMW Web Portal? Thanks in advance! -SD

    PDMWorks New Installation

    We have three active SolidWorks users here at my company. We will be installing PDM Works and since it is a fairly small group, is it okay to use my workstation as the server/vault? what are the Pros/Cons going this route. If okay, is it advisable to have a seperate hard drive installed as...
