Hi all! We have yet another free webinar that might be interesting for some of you. If you can't join, you can still register to get the recording afterwards. Odoo ERP has become one of the commonly used ERP systems chosen by many design & manufacturing companies. A while back we introduced a bu...

Take a look at CUSTOMTOOLS . It does not "own" or have file versioning of the files like PDM and SVN has, but it does indexing so you can search your files. It also does automatic filenaming based on Custom Properties, and you can create rules like when revision property is bumped-up (A ->...

No worries, @bnemec. Here's the recording

@revenki, I have a webinar related to this today. I can post the recording of it afterwards

Hi all, I'm having a webinar starting very soon related to extending SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional with our product CUSTOMTOOLS ; What, Why and How. This webinar should be interesting for you, if you already have or are curious to implement PDM Professional (or Standard). I'll first show things you ca...

You'll have to use WinAPI to enumerate all windows and detect the one you are interested in. Then use WinAPI again to send IDOK for the dialog. Note that all controls, labels, buttons and everything in every dialog/form IS a window, so you need to consider also performance when implementing somethin...

In case you missed the webinar registration, here's the video:

Hi berg_lauritz , The webinar will be recorded and become publicly available for everyone, but if you register, you'll get a link to the recording via e-mail when it goes public.

Could it be possible to export in excel and then import back? That would be sweet!

Yes

Component Properties, as was already suggested. If you want to overview paths of all components, Pack & Go is pretty good that. Anything further for that, I often setup special CUSTOMTOOLS Export profile for my customers just so that to get an overview of the whole assembly and whatever Custom P...

Here's a video explaining the whole Drawing Automation concept:

Thanks Alex. I am curious about their sheet metal procedures. However, the demo shows simple DXF generating of blanc drawing sheet with unfolded product. That is a bit to simple in many cases. Sadly many of our videos are very outdated, but we have started working on those now. For sheet metals we ...

What releases of SolidWorks have you been combining with CustomTools? Are they quick to adapt to new versions without a half year overlap with problems? We release new major version every year (e.g. CUSTOMTOOLS 2023) usually within 2 weeks from new major version release of SOLIDWORKS. E.g. now we a...

It's probably not very easy to understand the whole concept just from that teaser video and one messy picture. Maybe I need to make a quick video explaining it properly. I'd really value your input on this

Delivered!

The attached picture is too small for my old eyes. When I click on the picture it just takes me to a blank imgur web site. Weird. The same happened for me too first time, but then it loaded properly on the second try. It's quite a bit better resolution than the previous upscaled one. EDIT: Finally ...

Hi all! I'm new to this forum. I'm the Product Manager of CUSTOMTOOLS for SOLIDWORKS and I'm here every now and then trying to lurk what kind of tedious routines you guys are dealing with and what I should maybe attempt to introduce to my product. Not sure if this topic should have been in 2D Drawin...

Didn't read the whole thread but my first though was exactly what JSculley wrote The answers to your questions really depend on your answer to this question: What problem(s) do you hope to solve or objectives to you hope to achieve by using PDM? Judging by your answer that currently you have perform...
