Solidworks Explorer Licensing

Try "Edrawings" free, can also open and print , parts, assemblys, DXF, DWG

Always get simplistic responses in this group. Can't have non- solidworks stations access the vault with e-drawings. Thats the goal. Could use PDM works prior to 2007. I think it may be impossible now without buying SW explorer license?

Gee, sorry,(NOT) for the simplistic response but I didn't see anything about "vault" in the original post.

You need PDMW Workgroup Standalone ($$$) to access the vault. Just like you needed PDMW Standalone prior to 2007.

Not to be confused with Solidworks Explorer which is free but cannot access the vault.

Michael, I'm not sure you have a place in this forum if you can't read people's minds. :-) John

In a round-about way it can be done. If you keep a copy of the "most recent" files in the vault ( simple option checkmark ), and make sure only appropriate people have folder access. SW explorer can view the vault files, won't have access to previous revs limited searching, and potentially a lot of space consumed, but better than dumping cash for a standalone pdm licence.
