The latest version of Synergis Software’s Adept PDM features a new SolidWorks integration that makes it faster and more efficient for users to perform document management operations while working inside the CAD application.
A new Adept Task Pane tab gives users the ability to search, sign in or out, open, insert and replace components, and see “where used” and status information about parts, assemblies, drawings, and configurations – without leaving the SolidWorks application.
“The new Adept PDM for SolidWorks integration was driven entirely by our customers’ requests,” says Joseph T. Gasper, product manager for CAD integrations at Synergis Software. “It provides users with an easier, more intuitive way to perform their design and editing tasks while maintaining the consistency and security demanded in today’s engineering environments.”
Adept PDM and document management software for SolidWorks allows users to perform these tasks from within the SolidWorks Task Pane:
- Search by metadata or browse through an Explorer-like tree structure to find files using any combination of metadata fields tracked in Adept
- Access files in an Adept work area
- Check the status of files (in/out/on hold)
- Drag and drop files from any Search Results listing into SolidWorks’ graphics window
- Open or insert a file with options for copy out, sign out, or read-only access
- Select a specific configuration for the selected file
- View thumbnail and parent-child relationships for the selected file
