What is the Dispatch add-in for SOLIDWORKS PDM?

March 10, 2025

Would you like to be able to automate manual operations in PDM Professional?

PDM Professional includes an add-in called Dispatch which allows you to create Actions which automate tasks such as setting data card variables, file operations, and running external applications.

Triggered manually or automatically, Dispatch Actions can incorporate variables with values obtained from data cards, file, and PDM information, and the Windows system. They can, interact with the user via dialog boxes.

Our PDM Professional Foundation implementations include some Dispatch Actions, and we can create custom Actions as consultancy. We also have a training course for those interested creating Dispatch Actions for themselves.
