List all variable mappings in an Enterprise PDM vault:
Is there some way to list all the variables in the vault and their attribute
mappings? This is a common question we receive from EPDM administrators. Well
you are in luck – the query below will do just that! This query can be saved and
run as needed or even used to write an EPDM report. Enjoy!
--SQL Query to list all variable mappings in file vault
Select V.VariableName as [Variable Name],
CASE V.VariableType
WHEN '1' THEN 'Text'
WHEN '2' THEN 'Integer'
WHEN '3' THEN 'Decimal Number'
WHEN '4' THEN 'Yes or No'
WHEN '5' THEN 'Date'
END as [Type],
CASE V.FlagUnique WHEN
1 then 'Yes' ELSE ''
END as [Unique],
CASE V.FlagMandatory WHEN 1 then 'Yes'
ELSE '' END as
[Mandatory],
CASE WHEN A.BlockName IS NULL
THEN '' ELSE A.BlockName
END as [Block],
CASE WHEN A.AttributeName IS NULL
THEN '' ELSE A.AttributeName
END as [Attribute],
Extensions = ISNULL (substring((SELECT
( ',
' + FE.Extension )
FROM AttributeExtension AE, FileExtension FE
WHERE A.AttributeID = AE.AttributeID and
AE.ExtensionID = FE.ExtensionID
ORDER BY: AE.AttributeID, FE.Extension
FOR XML PATH ( '' ) ), 3, 1000 ) ,'')
From Variable V
Left Join Attribute A on V.VariableID =
A.VariableID
Where V.VariableType IN (1,2,3,4,5)
Order By V.VariableName

How to link SolidWorks model custom properties into an Enterprise PDM drawing file data card:
EPDM file data card variables can be “linked” to file custom properties, yet how
do you link a custom property from a SolidWorks model to a SolidWorks drawing data card? You will need to create an additional data card variable block/attribute mapping for the drawing extension (slddrw) in the EPDM variable editor. Use the block name $PRPSHEET (this must be spelled with capital letters) and the attribute name should be the property you want to retrieve from the model, for example “Description.” Ensure the existing “Description” block/attribute mapping is still setup for the drawing extension as well
as (CustomProperty/Description). Now the description custom property model will be “copied” to the custom properties of the drawing when the drawing is saved into the vault, and will thereby show up in the drawing data card.
NOTES:
• The EPDM SolidWorks add-in must be enabled
• The linked properties will be copied/updated each time the drawing is saved from within SolidWorks |

Stratasys: Find
out how FDM Technology has revolutionized
manufacturing and become as a critical business
process for Thogus Products |
|
Additive manufacturing is not just for product development and prototyping. Manufacturers are using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) to streamline their manufacturing process, cutting months from their production timeline. One such company is 1-year-old manufacturing company foundationally rooted in injection molding.

DriveWorks News: Automatice for the
People
2011 is the ten-year anniversary of DriveWorks, the specialist developer of design automation software. Al Dean talks to CEO Glen Smith and vice president Maria Sarkar about the last decade and where they are taking the company in future.
A driving factor behind the success of DriveWorks was the decision to build on
top of SolidWorks, one of the industry's leading 3D product development tools.
Working with the system DriveWorks was able to implement its modular approach.
"That separation of the system and data adds a lot more to the system because it
needs to be generic," explains Smith. "That then becomes paramount if you're
going to take it to another company with a completely different set of data."
