Features

Everything your SolidWorks team needs to manage design data, track revisions, and collaborate — plus features you won't find in any other PDM software. See what makes PalmPDM unique.

Core Features

Automatic File Organization

Project structure mirrors your main SolidWorks assembly tree and updates automatically on every check-in, keeping your file organization in sync with your design.

Custom Metadata & Part Numbering

Define custom fields and properties for your parts and assemblies. Generate consistent part numbers automatically based on your custom schemas to eliminate manual errors.

User Permissions

Control access with role-based permissions. Define who can view, edit, or approve files at the project or folder level.

Collaboration

Instantaneous Updates

Files are always up to date — no need to manually "get latest version" like in SolidWorks PDM. Changes are available the moment they are checked in.

Concurrent Checkout Controls

Diff and merge functionality allows multiple users to edit files simultaneously, eliminating bottlenecks from single-user file locking.

Check In / Check Out

Standard file locking still available. Check out files to make edits and check them back in to keep your team in sync.

Personal Workspace

Work in your own isolated workspace before publishing. Test and iterate without affecting the shared project.

Release & Workflows

Part Release Capabilities

BOMs are automatically managed and release artifacts organized for easy distribution to suppliers — no manual assembly required.

Customizable Workflows

Add any state transitions your team needs and integrate ECO processes directly into your PDM system.

Cloud-Based Access

Set up in under 30 minutes. No local server or IT support required. Access your designs from anywhere with website access.

Quick Access & Related Documents

Pin frequent projects, access recent files instantly, and link datasheets or specs directly to parts and assemblies.
