This session gets into the deep insides of many of the lesser known features of SOLIDWORKS PDM by exploring those different buttons and menu selections that you have always looked at and wanted to try, maybe you even did try but didn’t see exactly what it did, or maybe that selection was always greyed out and you couldn’t figure out exactly how to make it work. Here we will look at the required setup for how to make them work, and then click that button or menu selection to see exactly what is going on, with better explanations of exactly what is taking place and how to make it work. We will explore these mysterious items both in the user interface and the administration tool, which will make this session highly useful even if you are not an administrator. But some of these items may have undesired consequences inside the vault, so along with looking at how to set them up and how to use them, several topics will also be explored from the perspective of how to prevent them from working.
