This article will discuss which SQL ports need to be open in order for our SOLIDWORKS products to talk to their defined database.

There are several scenarios that can have an effect on the port traffic. We'll cover each one individually and how to set up the ports accordingly.
If you’re a SOLIDWORKS user then chances are high you've seen the dreaded "future version" file error. Perhaps you've even caused this grief for another user. So how does one avoid this problem in the future?

This article will outline the steps required to configure the firewall port settings for your SOLIDWORKS SolidNetwork License Manager (SNL) and your SOLIDWORKS PDM installation. The Steps for opening ports for inbound and outbound traffic is the same for each port.
One of the most common deliverables for companies is a PDF of their SOLIDWORKS drawing. For many people out there, the creation of a PDF is a manual process involving a tedious amount of steps, even for those that have PDM! Let’s add some automation to our PDM workflow to automatically create a PDF of our SOLIDWORKS Drawing! Despite having the Create PDF task already set up within PDM, there are many of us that are left scratching our heads as to why the PDF doesn’t get an updated data card! As a solution to these problems, we will highlight the steps to create a PDF data card, create a PDF task, add the task to our workflow, and link variables from our SLDDRW data card to our new PDF card.
