Some time ago we created DriveWorks Labs – an area of our Reseller and Customer Portals where DriveWorks Customers with a valid Subscription Support Contract can download plugins for specific tasks. One such Plugin is SolidWorks Work Group PDM plugin. As most people already know, integration to SolidWorks Entreprise PDM is core functionality inside DriveWorks.
However for Workgroup PDM we decided to publish the source code under an Open Source MIT license on the GitHub site. You can read more about GitHub here.
You can read all about the advantages of the DriveWorks API on the Philip Stears Blog, along with the reasons why we have chosen to make the source code for the WorkGroup PDM plugin more widely availble.
“The DriveWorks API was designed with PDM as one of our core scenarios, and we aimed to make it possible for both ourselves and our partners to implement integrations into a wide variety of different systems”
