1 - Enterprise Automation Pack
Speeds up, simplifies and reduces errors
Is starting a new project unnecessarily complex and timeconsuming? Is too much time spent entering descriptions
and is retrieval still difficult? Does it take forever to collect and
print your drawings? Do customers or production sites ask for
drawings in their native language?
Solution
Our Enterprise Automation Pack relieves users from tedious and laborious tasks
in their daily engineering work. This suite of standard tools automates and
simplifies these actions. Result? A speeded-up process, improved data quality
and fewer errors.
• Category Wizard
Designed for SOLIDWORKS EPDM customers who need to fill in multiple related
fields using one selection.
- Easily add categorization information and standard (Multilanguage) descriptions to
models.
- Improve searchability and re-use of existing information.
• Classification Wizard
Easy characterization of components, allowing for a powerful search and optimal
use of the standardization potential.
- Higher level of standardization because of predefined input values for properties.
- Additional level of information that ensures improved search results.
• Design Copy
Quickly start a new project based on an existing one.
- Pre-definable settings for filtering items that will not change.
- Automate additional information like ‘Copied From’.
• BOM Sync
Automatically inserts the BOM from EPDM on the SOLIDWORKS drawing.
- Provides single source of information for CAD, PDM and ERP by allowing the display of
augmented EPDM BOM information on the SOLIDWORKS Drawing.
- Adds position number functionality to the computed BOM in EPDM.
• Batch Plot
Easy printing and export of all drawings. Watermarks, customer names and even
quantities are added to drawing at time of printing.
- Automate the manual task of printing drawings.
- Print context-specific properties, so drawings can be re-used ed.
“We have achieved a
25% reduction in engineering hours
by using SOLIDWORKS EPDM combined with the
Enterprise Automation Pack.”

2 - Enterprise Connectivity Pack
Share the right information easily
Do you always type the same information over and over
again when communicating to other departments? Do you
have to switch back and forth between applications to piece
the puzzle together? Is the information you receive from other
departments incomplete, out of date or error-ridden?
‘With Enterprise Automation Pack
we are able to match ERP data to our CAD files,
so ERP remains the master of our data and the
data quality is safeguarded.
Solution
The Enterprise Connectivity Pack consists of a set of tools to easily share
information among departments. The right information reaches the right people
without the need for re-typing. This saves time and improves data quality and
availability.
Luuk van Luffelen, Vencomatic
• ERP Exchange
Offers a range of smart scenarios to integrate information between PDM and ERP.
- Save time entering the BOM in ERP.
- Reduce errors by eliminating duplicate entry of data.
• ERP Material & Operations Wizard
Short cut process-planning by integrating tasks in the engineering process.
- Capture information from earlier stages in the engineering process.
- Save time and reduce errors by re-using material and operation information when
deriving one part from another.
• SharePoint Connector
Automated publication of documents from SOLIDWORKS EPDM to SharePoint,
including PDM-related information.
- Securely share documents with others.
- No duplicate revision process.
• PDM Gateway
Facilitates retrieval of ERP information for use in EPDM.
- Eliminates screen switching between applications.
- No retyping of information.
• BOM Sync
Automatically inserts the BOM from EPDM on the SOLIDWORKS drawing.
- Provides single source of information for CAD, PDM and ERP by allowing the display of
augmented EPDM BOM information on the SOLIDWORKS drawing.
- Adds position number functionality to the computed BOM in EPDM.

3 - Enterprise Quality Assurance Pack
Improves process and user management
Do changes in Standards/Regulations or Certificates not always reach the right people?
Is user management and ensuring they see only correct and relevant information
becoming a nightmare? Do you need better control of the release process to guarantee
quality?
Solution
The Enterprise Quality Assurance pack allows you to get a better grip of the overall process and prepare for
compliance to regulatory requirements. Users are better informed of important changes in key (regulation)
documents and are assisted in the release process. Permissions for users are managed more transparently, thus
reducing the administrative overhead and guaranteeing correct access rights.
• UGR-Tool
• Reference Validator
Smart role assignment for individual users in large organizations.
- Advanced authorization model for groups.
- Flexible folder and project authorization.
Configuring the life cycle state of referenced documents. During release of a
structure, the status of all references is checked to meet minimum conditions.
- Use EPDM to enforce regulatory compliancy rules in a more automated way.
- Automatic verification of consistency.
4 - Enterprise Productivity Pack
Automates common engineering tasks
Have you ever mixed up references (old part linked to new drawing) when renaming a
model and drawing? Wouldn’t it be helpful to automatically provide job preparation with
basic product information like dimensions, number of bends and weight? Are you still
using an Excel list for numbering your models because SOLIDWORKS EPDM cannot handle
your numbering plan?
Solution
If this sounds familiar, the Enterprise Productivity Pack is the solution. It adds several power functions, extending
SOLIDWORKS and SOLIDWORKS EPDM functionality in these fields. This prevents common errors and frees up time
because data does not have to be corrected.
• SaveAs with drawing
- Automatically renames related drawings
- Prevents errors in renaming models
• Bounding Box
Automatic extraction of relevant information for
production, like cutting contours and number of
bends.
• Numbering
Extends the functionality of EPDM to allow
for more complex numbers with separators.
A Modulo 97 check is added for additional
verification
5 - Enterprise Manufacturing Pack
The right information in the right place
How much time do your engineers spend providing departments like Material Handling/
Job preparation with the additional information? Ever get tired of creating those flat
pattern DXF files for production?
Solution
If collecting information or creating output formats for production is taking up too much of your time, the Enterprise
Manufacturing Pack will provide relief. The right information automatically arrives at the right place. It reduces the
work preparation time, eliminates errors and the overall efficiency increases.
• ERP Material & Operations Wizard
Short cut process-planning by integrating
tasks in the engineering process.
- Capture information from earlier stages in the
engineering process.
- Save time and reduce errors by re-using
material and operation information when
deriving one part from another.
• Bounding Box
Automatic extraction of relevant information for
production, like cutting contours and number of
bends.
