SOLIDWORKS PDM 2024 

SOLIDWORKS PDM (Product Data Management) 2024 continues to build on its robust foundation, offering new functionalities and improvements that cater to the evolving needs of design and engineering teams. Whether you’re managing design revisions, controlling access to sensitive data, or visualizing assembly properties, PDM 2024 has something to enhance your experience.

Watch Our In-Depth Video Overview 

Assembly Visualization

Visualizing PDM property information directly on your model becomes dynamic and intuitive. Assembly visualization fully supports PDM properties, enabling you to group and color parts based on their properties. This feature enhances clarity in complex assemblies, facilitating the management of approval stages and identification of critical components.

Enhanced Traceability with History Recording

PDM 2024 improves traceability with detailed records of design changes, ensuring a clear log of who made modifications and when. This feature enhances collaboration and compliance, crucial for industries with stringent regulatory requirements.

Check Out in Change State

PDM 2024 allows designs to be checked out during workflow transitions, eliminating unnecessary steps and improving efficiency in design modifications.

Redesigned Version Tab

The redesigned version tab offers clearer insights into your designs’ statuses, simplifying navigation between local and latest versions.

Enhanced Security

Improved BOM management includes displaying hidden columns as deleted in BOM compare, enhancing data accuracy. Enhanced security measures ensure restricted access to reference data, safeguarding intellectual property.

Web 2 Enhancements

  • Grid View Makes It Easy to Identify Files

Web 2 now supports grid view, making file identification and navigation easier, alongside improved file version selection for download.

  • Select the Version to Download

In Web 2, selecting the version of a file you want to download is now easy, improving file management and accessibility. This feature benefits users needing specific versions for reference or comparison purposes, simplifying the management of design data access.

Administration

  • New Permissions Added to License Node Access

Administrators benefit from improved vault visibility, clearly indicating logged-in vaults. The license node divides into usage and server lists, with granular access control permissions.

These enhancements give administrators greater control and flexibility in managing user access and permissions. Easily identifying who’s logged into which vaults ensures efficient resource use and quick issue identification. New permissions and access controls enable tailored access, enhancing security and ensuring only authorized personnel access sensitive data.

  • Archive States That Are No Longer Used

Workflow organization streamlines by archiving unused states, easily accessible via the toolbar. This feature organizes workflows, removing irrelevant or unused states. Archived states are easily reactivated if needed, ensuring efficient and manageable workflows.

 

Conclusion

In summary, SOLIDWORKS PDM 2024 introduces checkout during transition, advanced assembly visualization, enhanced revision history, improved BOM management, heightened security measures, Web 2 enhancements, and expanded administrative options. These new features and improvements are designed to enhance your productivity, streamline your workflows, and ensure the security and integrity of your design data.
