From VBA basics to advanced PDM add-in development — find the course that fits your team’s next milestone.
This course teaches you how to configure the VBA environment, add the required API references, connect to a PDM vault, build a user interface, securely log in, browse folders, work with file configurations, read data card variables, and safely update files using proper check-out and check-in logic.
In this course we show you how to make a new button for your PDM.
This button is special because it takes information from a 3D model and puts it into a drawing.
You will learn how to write simple code using C# to move this data fast. This tool helps you work better and not make mistakes.
This course is about the basics of programming with VBA. It focuses on core concepts such as variables, data types, conditions, loops, functions, and simple macros to help build a strong foundation.
The SOLIDWORKS PDM Task Add-in Development course from Blue Byte Systems Inc. is a specialized, technical deep-dive designed for developers and automation leads who want to master the art of vault automation. This intensive program empowers you to build high-performance custom add-ins using C# or VB.NET, enabling you to design, implement, and deploy sophisticated tools that handle complex engineering processes—from seamless file conversions and data extraction to advanced, workflow-driven operations.
The SOLIDWORKS PDM API Bootcamp from Blue Byte Systems Inc. is a three-day, in-person immersive course designed for developers, engineers, and automation leads who want to master the PDM API, build real-world custom tools, and integrate advanced workflows into your PDM environment.
This course provides an introduction to creating and implementing SOLIDWORKS PDM add-ins using C# and the SOLIDWORKS PDM API. Designed for PDM administrators and developers, this course focuses on automating tasks within the SOLIDWORKS PDM environment, improving workflow efficiency, and integrating custom add-ins into the vault.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to SOLIDWORKS PDM automation using VBA and the SOLIDWORKS PDM API. It is designed for those interested in automating tasks within the SOLIDWORKS PDM environment, such as managing files, folders, and data cards in the vault, and improving efficiency in PDM workflows.
This comprehensive course provides a foundational understanding of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and its seamless integration with SOLIDWORKS. It’s designed for individuals seeking to automate tasks within the SOLIDWORKS environment, enhancing productivity and efficiency.
I just wanted to let you know that I’ll try to repeat the exercises several times a week for a few hours. I particularly liked the PDM add-in with the button.
I was also able to take the first steps, such as outputting the path from the selected file. I copied a few things, some of which came from me. I thought of the ‘partial’ from the beginning — much tidier.
When you’re back in Vancouver at the end of the week, we can exchange ideas. Until then, I wish you a great time in Europe.
Thanks again for the training this week. I learned a great deal and I have a million ideas floating around in my head. My level of confidence in creating add-ins with the PDM API is significantly increased, and the large volume of sample code we produced will be a great reference moving forward.
Learning where to look for answers and how to look for those answers, along with the specifics of the API itself, was a huge benefit. I also greatly appreciate the offer of ongoing communication and assistance in the form of a code review of my first add-in. I look forward to both of those things.
