Welcome to the SolidWorks Administration Bible. This book has been written as a desk reference for anyone charged with installing, implementing, and maintaining SolidWorks and Workgroup PDM for yourself or for other users in your company.
Whether you are a professional CAD Administrator, a full-time engineer or designer pressed into service as a CAD Administrator, or just an individual user who needs to make the software work for yourself, you will find much to help you in these pages. IT professionals who are not familiar with the complexities of SolidWorks, but need to learn how to administer it will also find help here. The book is full of practical advice, recommendations, and the reasons behind the recommendations. In the spirit of the other SolidWorks Bibles I have written, much of the book comes from personal experience in industry, and not just an academic view of how things ideally should work.
