The Cloud... These days, we’re pretty much all using it in some form or fashion. However, when it comes to storing CAD data, you may not have made the jump to a Cloud solution yet. The good news is, there’s a solution that allows you to keep using the same desktop SOLIDWORKS you love, with a connection to a Cloud data management system using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. It’s called Collaborative Designer for SOLIDWORKS. In this article, we’ll talk through some of the questions that come up most frequently when getting started in your Cloud data management environment.
Often when we think about SOLIDWORKS, our mind jumps to 3D CAD. As many of us know, however, the SOLIDWORKS portfolio offers a lot more than that. The same can be said when it comes to data management. Hearing the words “SOLIDWORKS PDM,” most people tend to think of “managing SOLIDWORKS CAD files.”
The core competencies of Hawk Ridge Systems for the last 25 years have been primarily focused on the SOLIDWORKS and Dassault Systèmes ecosystem application layer and above—implementation, training, and best-in-class support. However, a jack of all trades often is a master of none, and in recent years we’ve seen many of our customers need to migrate many (if not all) of their applications to the cloud. As a result of this need, we partnered with Jolera in 2020 as our managed service provider—to offer our customers optimal expertise and support around all things Azure cloud infrastructure, IT, and security.
You may have been using SOLIDWORKS for a while, or maybe you are just getting started. Whatever the case may be, there has never been a better time than now to think about managing all the files that you’re creating. Issues with missing references, incorrect revisions of drawings being used in production, or even overwritten files are all common challenges that are difficult to solve without a proper product data management (PDM) software.
