We are headed towards using Enterprise PDM for managing our SolidWorks data. We are currently using Workgroup PDM.

Sharepoint has proven to be a good tool for sharing office type documents in our design groups but as Brian mentioned, it doesn't understand the SolidWorks file relationships at all. Brava! (The product I mentioned in a comment above) at one time had something posted to their site about SolidWorks integration with Sharepoint but now it only appears to be a viewer.

I have also found that Sharepoint's user interface doesn't seem to match up with most CAD based PDM packages I have seen.

That's all the information I have for now. If I see anything else on it, I'll let you know.

Ricky

Chris,

Do you mean using Sharepoint as a PDM tool for SolidWorks? If so, I would highly recommend against that, as Sharepoint knows nothing of SolidWorks file relationships.

Talk to Rich Hall, his company was trying to force them to use Sharepoint instead of a SolidWorks/CAD-centric PDM solution.

I know nothing about the capabilities or features of this software at this point so explore at your own risk. :-) Please e-mail me using the link at the top left hand corner of the page when you get a chance and we can discuss it more.

Our engineers use SolidWorks and are looking for a document management solution. Have you had any experience using the two applications together? If so, I would be interested in your feedback. Thank you, Pam Ricky,

It's easy to set up and manage, and a great way to store documents that need to be revision managed or just controlled. I'm sure you'll have no problems figuring it out. Jeff Ricky,
