I didn't request this enhancement but someone was thinking about this and submitted it previously. I believe this could be one of the greatest improvements for PDM users in years.

Most of us are very mechanical people and want to see things visually. How amazing would it be to see your models colored by their PDM state or any other piece of information that is only stored in PDM. Currently this isn't possible unless you create the same custom property in all of the parts and assemblies. Yes this is absolutely possible but then for every single change your items will need to be checked out and back in slowing everything down. This SPR requests Assembly Visualization to be able to use the PDM metadata like all of the normal data in SolidWorks.
