Solidworks PDM to Boltline

Sync data from Solidworks PDM to Boltline

To sync data from Solidworks PDM to Boltline, follow the instructions below:

1. Connect Boltline. First, set up your Boltline integration - follow the instructions here.

2. Connect Solidworks PDM. Next, you will need to have Solidworks PDM live in Violet. Currently, this is done by exporting a BOM from Solidworks in .csv format, and uploading that into Violet. Follow the instructions here.

3. Configure Solidworks to sync to Boltline. In the Solidworks PDM integration panel, select Boltline as the target app from the dropdown menu.

4. Any future pushes will update existing parts and/or create new parts intelligently (it will not duplicate data).

Alternatively, you can push assemblies to Boltline on a one-off basis.

1. Navigate to the desired Solidworks PDM assembly in Violet. Under Automations, select your target app and click Push.

2. Once successful, you will now see this assembly in both Violet and Boltline. Any future pushes will update existing parts and/or create new parts intelligently (it will not duplicate data).
