Frequently asked questions
Common questions about VaultTools.
Who is VaultTools for?
For the people who administer a SOLIDWORKS PDM vault. The tools run with administrator rights and are part of the PDM+ add-in, which is added to the vault once.
Can bulk card updates be reviewed before they are applied?
Yes. Values are previewed before they are written to the vault, and every change also appears in PDM's own history.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. PDM+ runs free with every product for 15 days from the moment it is added to the vault; no credit card required.
How is PDM+ installed?
Your PDM administrator adds the PDM+ add-in to the vault once using the SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration tool. The add-in and its settings are distributed from the vault to every client automatically — nothing needs to be installed on individual workstations.
How is it priced?
PDM+ products are licensed annually per vault, regardless of the number of users. The license is bound to the vault and stored in it, so every client uses the same license.
Which SOLIDWORKS PDM versions are supported?
SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional 2021 and later.
SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS PDM are registered trademarks of Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks Corporation. Sofa Yazılım add-ins are developed independently.
