Hi folks,
I have recently made the switch from a large organisation that has many seats for Pro Engineer, to a small engineering company that has one seat (yes, one) for Solidworks; and I am to be the core user.
Currently the have SW 2009 Premium edition installed. I can't however see the SW PDM tool anywhere on the system.
One of the designers that has dabbled in the use of SW (prefers to use AutoCAD) has given me the installation disc from which I can install the PDM tool.
The assemblies, models and drawings I have created thus far are stored on the office server, but I would much prefer to make use of them through the PDM tool.
Could someone please tell me if it's a simple enough job to install the PDM tool and make use of it, or am I playing a dangerous game by potentially wiping files I already have on the server?
Thanks.
G.
