Fortunately, the combination of VBA macros, SQL stored procedures, and SQL triggers are great for automating the process. Continue Reading
The SolidWorks Enterprise PDM (EPDM) workflow can be used to automatically show revision history by populating the revision block table on your drawings. By configuring a set of variables to hold current and past revision information, and setting those variables in a workflow process, you can free designers from the tedious process of putting revision block information into SolidWorks each time a drawing is approved.
