Managing standard parts in SOLIDWORKS PDM is shown as a way to reduce duplication, simplify searching and keep control of both purchased and internally designed components. The video explains how companies often accumulate large numbers of duplicate parts, leading to unnecessary downstream costs. It outlines how PDM structures, permissions and workflows can isolate standard parts into dedicated library folders, ensuring designers reuse existing components rather than creating new ones. Categorisation, data‑card metadata and enhanced quick search help users quickly locate items. The session also covers controlling copying and moving of standard parts through copy tree settings and workflow states, preventing accidental edits. A large section focuses on Toolbox, showing how to configure standards, limit available sizes, pre‑populate metadata, assign materials and then migrate Toolbox into PDM so all users reference a consistent library. Once in the vault, Toolbox parts become synchronised, searchable and controlled, reducing errors and improving efficiency in assemblies and BOMs
