Synergis Software Releases Enhanced Integration with SolidWorks for Adept Engineering Document Management Software

By DE Editors

Synergis Software has announced the availability of Adept PDM 8.1, which features an enhanced integration with SolidWorks 3D CAD design software.

Adept’s integration with SolidWorks includes critical document management operations inside the 3D CAD application. The integration provides an Adept Task Pane that lets users search for files by metadata or an Explorer-like browser, then drag and drop the files into the SolidWorks graphics window. It also enables users to sign in/sign out, open, insert, copy, and replace components; determine the status (In/Out/On Hold) of parts, assemblies, drawings and configurations; view thumbnail and parent-child relationship (references) for any selected file; and view any file’s associated metadata using Adept’s Library Cards. These capabilities are available without having to leave SolidWorks.

Adept PDM 8.1 also features an Adept relationship tree—similar in look and feel to SolidWorks’ FeatureManager design tree—with icons that show the status of a file; tool tips that display the file name, status, Library or owner; and check boxes to select files for sign out.
