It’s time to rethink your data management strategy. DS SOLIDWORKS® is discontinuing support for Workgroup PDM this year, forcing users to migrate to more complex and expensive solutions.
What does this mean for SOLIDWORKS Workgroup PDM users?
- Different vault formats mean incompatibility between systems. Your critical CAD data must be extracted from one system and imported into another. Only a SOLIDWORKS reseller can do this, subjecting users to high costs and risks to data on import.
- Be prepared for a huge time commitment with long, drawn-out data migration processes, training and implementation.
- Want non-CAD users to access your design data? You’ll have to purchase additional PDM Professional licenses.
Don’t let SOLIDWORKS hold your CAD files hostage - it’s time to upgrade to truly modern CAD.

“Onshape Mobile works extremely well. I recently was able to work while I was waiting in line at the Department of Motor Vehicles. That’s pretty cool!”
– Theo Cerboneschi, Inboard
“I’m blown away by how well it works inside a web browser. The beauty of Onshape being cloud-based is that I don’t have to deal with software updates… Not having to worry about that with CAD software is great.”
– Brock Brandenberg, Klevr
