Starting with SW 2025, a new option allows exporting HTML files directly from SolidWorks (requires eDrawings 2025 to be installed).

I created a macro that lets a user export HTML along with PDF, DWG, and other formats at the click of a button. The macro works correctly and places all exported files into the designated folder inside the PDM Standard vault.

However, there’s an issue: a non-admin user can see the exported PDF, DWG, etc., in the vault, correctly appearing as checked out by that user but the HTML file does not appear. The user have to log out of the vault, log in as an admin to check in the HTML file, then log out again and log back in as a normal user to check it out. Only then does the HTML file become visible. Interestingly, if the same user manually saves the HTML file from SolidWorks, it appears normally and shows as checked out.

I’ve checked the Knowledge Base and API documentation but haven’t found the root cause or a solution. I’m posting here in case anyone else has encountered this behavior and has identified a workaround or fix.

Thank you.
