Re: user added PDM notification, can they be one time only?

I know this is old, but I just finished building our notification system so I thought I should leave this here. Our process is on transition and takes advantage of the "Execute Command" action, but maybe this will still be helpful as I was having the exact same problem. What I did on trans...

SOLIDWORKS PDM Export File (.cex) Parser?

Is it possible to create a .cex file parser? I have supply chain people who use mac (without SolidWorks or PDM) who like seeing plain text exports of card variable lists from the admin tool. I used to just copy and paste the list contents every time someone asked to see data, but I was wondering if ...

Is there any way to get the SaveToCSV method to export a csv as UTF8? I don't see any way to do it on their help page.

Downsides of allowing users to "Change state while file is open in another application"

What are the downsides of allowing users to check in/check out files and transition them when they are open in SolidWorks? Why would I want to disallow users to preform these actions on a file that is open?

Re: How to change IEdmFile type to IModelDocExtension type

I have SOLIDWORKS 2020 which Dassault currently doesn't offer Document Manager API for. When requesting a key, is there any difference if I select SOLIDWORKS 2021 as my product version? Yes, I have PDM Pro and I'm trying to get a list of all parent assemblies that reference files outside of the vault.

Re: How to change IEdmFile type to IModelDocExtension type

Looking for a way to transfer data between those APIs. Similar to Document Manager APIs GetExternalFeatureReferences except I don't have a license for it. I want to find something similar to ListExternalReferenceFileCount but for IEdmFile. For example something like this https://help.solidworks.com/...

How to change IEdmFile type to IModelDocExtension type

Need some help figuring out how to change data captured as an IEdmFile to IModelDocExtension. This is so I can list external references of a file without opening it in Solidworks as my active document.

Re: PDM API why does GetVar / GetVarAsText rely on parent folder?

Quick question: how did you dimension your variable "out v"? Looking for how to properly declare poRetVal and can't find it anywhere.
