Teamwork and Collaboration with Cloud Services Capabilities.

Key workflow areas where this solution helps teams improve productivity, accuracy, and collaboration.

/// CAPABILITY 01

Share and Markup

Share and Markup helps users send SOLIDWORKS designs for review without exporting files or asking stakeholders to install CAD software. Reviewers can open the shared design in a browser, add comments, redlines, measurements, and annotations, and send feedback back to the design team. This makes design reviews faster, clearer, and easier for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

/// CAPABILITY 02

Store and Revise

Store and Revise provides CAD-aware cloud storage designed for SOLIDWORKS data. Unlike normal cloud folders, it understands CAD file relationships, helping users manage parts, assemblies, drawings, and related references more reliably. Teams can manage revisions, access previous versions, lock files to avoid overwrites, and maintain a cleaner design history.

/// CAPABILITY 03

Manage and Control

Manage and Control adds a more formal approach to design change management. Teams can define change processes, manage approvals, improve project visibility, and reduce uncontrolled shortcuts during product development. This is useful for organizations that need stronger governance, clearer responsibilities, and better control over design updates.

Where SOLIDWORKS PDM is Commonly Used.

SOLIDWORKS PDM is used by engineering and manufacturing teams that need better control over CAD files, revisions, approvals, BOMs, and design documents. It helps teams manage product data in a secure central vault and avoid issues caused by duplicate files, outdated versions, or uncontrolled file sharing.

Engineering File Management

Used by design teams to store parts, assemblies, drawings, documents, images, and related project data in one organized and searchable location.

CAD Revision Control

Helps teams manage file versions, track design changes, access previous revisions, and make sure users are working with the latest approved data.

Design Reuse and Search

Useful when engineers need to quickly find existing CAD models, drawings, or project files by name, date, metadata, or other searchable properties.

Approval and Release Workflows

Supports controlled engineering workflows such as design review, approval, release, ECOs, and document status changes with better traceability.

BOM and Manufacturing Handover

Helps teams manage Bill of Materials information and share accurate design data with manufacturing, purchasing, and downstream departments.

Distributed Engineering Teams

With SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, teams across different locations can access, manage, and collaborate on product data through controlled remote access.

// 10 — FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About SOLIDWORKS PDM.

Find answers to common questions about SOLIDWORKS PDM, including CAD file management, revision control, secure vaults, workflow automation, BOM support, remote access, and how it helps engineering teams control product data.

01What is SOLIDWORKS PDM used for?

SOLIDWORKS PDM is used to securely store, organize, manage, and control CAD files, engineering documents, revisions, and product data. It helps teams work from one central vault instead of managing files through scattered folders or manual tracking.
