What is PDM ?  In today's consumer products industry, industrial designers and mechanical engineers must work together to bring new products to market with cutting-edge design, market-leading functionality, and low manufacturing costs.  Product data management (PDM) is the business function often within product lifecycle management (PLM) that is responsible for the management and publication of product data.  What are the Goals?  The goals of product data management include,  ensuring all stakeholders share a common understanding, that confusion during the execution of the processes is minimized, and that the highest standards of quality controls are maintained.  What is it Focus on?  Product data management is focused on capturing and maintaining information on products and/or services through its development and useful life. Typical information managed in the PDM module include.  Common challenges for Consumer P...

Now, let’s take a look on Ref [Fig 1] section of wires. If one of these wires is deleted, redrawn and numbered. Previously it would not look for the lowest available mark and automatically take the highest existing mark and increment by one. In this case, that would be 9 Ref [Fig 3.1]. With SOLIDWORKS Electrical 2018 , now you can control this default response not just for wires, can also for cables and components as well. In the Wire and component numbering dialog box, for Assign unused mark, select Wires and equipotentials, Cables , or Components Ref [Fig 2]. If you enable any of these options, on renumber the software will use the first available mark from 0. Here it will now use 6 Ref [Fig 3.2], the first unused mark after 0.

With SOLIDWORKS Electrical , users can generate their Electrical Schematic diagram in an automated way through an Excel file. Users can have an advanced configuration of their projects defined in a spreadsheet, so they will be able to design any standard electrical project automatically, considering different types of configurations. The XLS spread sheet  below, which will have Codes to identify and keywords which are recognizable format to the SQL”. Once we add the required Codes in XLS sheet, then we need to add the MACROS to be inserted into schematic using MACRO MANAGER. Also create any symbols to be inserted for your specific MACRO.                                                     (Macro Symbol Inserted) Go to IMPORT/EXPORT>> EXCEL AUTOMATION  and select the CONFIGURED XLS file and then import it. This XLS ...
