The Old Way vs. The PDMPublisher Way

Before PDMPublisher, publishing your .SLDPRT and .SLDASM files on a web page was a headache. It involved wrestling with long winded export procedures and wading through an entire gamut of potential issues just to get your design on the web. PDMPublisher does everything in reverse.

Manual Exports: The Old Way

• Slow Process: Preparing a SOLIDWORKS part or assembly for web viewing and exporting is a gradual, step-by-step process. It is commonly achieved through the use of over one computer program.
• Compatibility Headaches: You might spend hours of debugging to make your exported files viewable on different web browsers, resulting in frustration and lateness.
• Plugins and Code: To have an interactive 3D model on a website, you typically require specialist plugins or some knowledge of coding, which not all engineers have.
• Updating is a Nightmare: If you modify your design in your .SLDPRT or, .SLDASM file, you will have to redo the entire convoluted export process and manually update the web content as well.
  

Automated Exports: The PDMPublisher Way

• Integrated Process: It integrates natively within your SOLIDWORKS PDM, so the whole export process will feel like second nature.
• Seamless Updates: Because PDMPublisher is integrated with your PDM, updating your web-based models is as simple as re-running the tool against the latest revision of your file.
