With SOLIDWORKS PDM 2019 we have the SOLIDWORKS Inspection Integration.\u00a0 Similar to Microsoft Office integration, we now have the SOLIDWORKS PDM ribbon available in the SOLIDWORKS Inspection standalone tool.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/Inspection-Ribbon-300x62.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
You are now able to access SOLIDWORKS PDM features directly in SOLIDWORKS Inspection, such as:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Check-Out<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Check-In<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Search<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Get Version<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Get Latest Version<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In addition to being able to access PDM features, the integration also includes file reference handling.\u00a0 PDM will create references between the inspection project files (.ixprj) and the output deliverables (.xlsx, .pdf) files.\u00a0 You will also be able to see these references in the Contains tab that will display the inspection project files are parent files and output deliverables as child references.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nInspection integration also supports variable mapping.<\/p>\n
- \n
- SWIPrjProperty<\/strong> defines the mapping for Inspection Project Properties\n
- \n
- Available attribute names for Project Mapping are:\n
- \n
- Part Name<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Part Number<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Part Revision<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Document Name<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Document Number<\/strong><\/li>\n
- Document Revision<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- SWICustomProperty<\/strong> defines the mapping for Inspection Custom Properties<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Example variable mapping on the Inspection datacard:<\/p>\n
