If you want to connect your SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional data via a web client, you’ll find useful enhancements to the Web2 client. With the 2022 release, you can incorporate a licensed EXALEAD OnePart environment into PDM Professional. OnePart not only presents you with the results, but it also highlights parts that share a 3D similarity. With EXALEAD OnePart, a powerful search integration and discovery application, you can easily gain deep insight into your vaulted data. It also provides full access to the component design tree, enabling you to cross-highlight between model geometry and the component list. This familiar interface allows access to commonly used commands, like the measure tool, with all its options. The Preview is powered by eDrawings technology and now in 2022, you get the full eDrawings user interface. We all know that previewing files via the Preview tab is a great way to quickly identify and understand the contents of vaulted files. Here are just some of my favorites in the 2022 release.įirst, let’s start with SOLIDWORKS PDM and the new features added to its unique Windows Explorer integration. The 2022 SOLIDWORKS desktop data management products (SOLIDWORKS PDM Standard, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, and SOLIDWORKS Manage) have significant enhancements that make it even easier to keep your data under control while freeing you to spend more time designing products.
