PDMShell: scriptable automation for SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional

Move past Dispatch. PDMShell runs automation on demand, from PDM events, or as tasks inside SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional — one-off commands, repeatable .pdmshell scripts, visual workflows, and administrator-controlled add-in automation.

  • Command shell for vault navigation, file operations, search, and cleanup
  • Repeatable .pdmshell scripts for batch work, migrations, and administrator tasks
  • Visual editor to build and validate workflows with a guided layout
  • Approved scripts in PDM command menus, tasks, transitions, and scheduled jobs
Visual Editor Demo

The PDMShell visual editor — build, connect, and validate PDM workflow steps.

A practical delivery process

The work is scoped around your vault, CAD standards, business systems, and team capacity so the final tool fits the environment it will run in.

Step 01

Discovery

Review workflows, pain points, vault structure, file types, data sources, and the business outcome the tool needs to support.

Step 02

Prototype

Build a focused proof of concept against representative files, variables, workflows, or system endpoints before broad rollout.

Step 03

Implement

Develop the macro, add-in, migration script, connector, or application with clear configuration and deployment paths.

Step 04

Support

Train users and administrators, document the workflow, and refine the tool as production edge cases appear.

SOLIDWORKS PDM, connected to everything around it

We build the connectors that keep engineering data flowing between your file sources, SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional, and the business systems your company already runs on.

What every engagement is measured against

Whatever we build — a macro, an add-in, a migration, or a connector — it has to deliver these three things.

Less manual engineering work

Automate repeatable drawing, metadata, export, publishing, and approval tasks that slow down release cycles.

Cleaner connected data

Keep CAD, PDM, ERP, PLM, and reporting data aligned with fewer copy-paste errors and fewer hidden spreadsheets.

Tools your team can own

Deliver practical utilities with documentation, configuration, and training so internal teams can keep improving them.
