pdm - new integration in ut - tips?

[The Boy]

Hello, everyone.

I have a problem with this... in the company we have implemented solidworks with as pdm ready2works solution of readysolutions.

sincerely I am a little skeptical about the operation of this software, as:

-software house of 2 people... .
-win the encoding of the particular (then use of double encoding)
-No possibility of renaming (need to clone the detail and replace it)
-inexistence of protections (I have access to the part file and can delete it)

We haven't yet started using it fully, but we're doing evidence...

someone uses ready2works? How is it?

you would advise me or tell me which other pdms there are x solidworks with an indication of the maintenance price, so that you can submit it to my owner.

Thank you.

apart from the owner of the readysolutions read cad3d.... I've had it for a few years and I've had dbworks before.
dbworks in the company where I worked was implemented badly and we were not followed properly. apart from this the product is extremely flexible, so flexible that it leaves freedom to users to do what they want. This turned out to be a boomerang.
ready is a bit rigid, it is true, but this could be good. Consider that it is the only product on the market practically ready to use and has a set of integrated tools that help you a lot.
I am the owner of a small external study and in my case the demand for flexibility is total.
Until now I've always managed to handle it well and I'll tell you that ready has always been my added value compared to so much competition.
then like all pdm solutions must be followed as you must and wanted by those who use them, otherwise it can not work for astio.
I add: I showed it to a couple of companies and they took it in a short time.
If you need more...willers.

hello and thanks for the answer...

I am pleased that the owner of the ready read the forums... it means that it tries to draw some point x the improvements on the new releases.

In fact I see + useful this type of program for small design offices, perhaps working as a contractor. but you can understand that when you have a particular that is used in 700 distinct with variants, nn you can leave out flexibility.

among other things where I work there are billions of articles and components, so a change of encoding at management level would be unthinkable, as it would be unthinkable to have 1 billion files that are called with the management code, but with a code made to doc by the pdm. (which with a normal pdm nn happens, intralink type)

think about what could happen if in five years we wanted to change software, we would find ourselves having to open all the boards, rename the part and the boards and quit in all the assemblies.... .

sincerely now I am using the solidworks explorer and I am aptly, unfortunately nn having the vault nn I can check in.

I would also like to hear some opinion on the pdm workgroup or know if there is any demos to try.

Thank you.

a change of coding would be a blood bath for all pdms (presumption). I had no problem adapting to ready because we "reorganized" on the occasion of the purchase. I don't know what to say. .they are too specific evaluations, you should know thoroughly your reality.
in every reality there is someone who decides more than another, in the sense that if you listen more the provider of the management will go to meet his needs and vice versa if you listen more who is on the part of the pdm.
explorer I never used it, having ready use that. at this point the only thing is the test on the field. if you go to the solidworks website see who solutions partners are, see if you find something, or there is solidworks pdm enterprise, but from what I know it is not the best.

All right. even we in the company had ready and for what little we used it I can tell you that it was a real bomb, especially when compared to other pdms of other programs.
on the existence of other perhaps better pdms, I am not aware. but if I can express a personal opinion: hold tight ready.
and then for what I remember (but I could also wrong) it seems to me that instead it was very flexible as pdm.
In particular it seems to me that you could give any kind of coding to the single part, according to your needs (and therefore not have double encoding). It seems to me that there was also the way to protect all that was inserted in the pdm. I go a bit to memory because now it has been a couple of years and, unfortunately, we have never used it properly.

And now? have you changed pdm or no more use pdm? Have you migrated to osd? right step or repent? If you don't want to answer, don't worry.

I want to break a spear for the two people. having to deal with an important software house means having a large number of programmers working for the product and that in the end the product does not depend on any of them: in this having 2 programmers is a disadvantage.
if you talk to 2 people you can get a lot in terms of satisfaction of requests, in the sense that a more direct relationship facilitates development work, bug resolution and implementation of new functions.
I have given several tips to readysolutions over the years and I can assure you that their attention to me has always been very high.
when I had dbworks I was followed by a supportive colossus. the result was not to have been properly followed and for these two experiences I must say that 2 is better than many.
at the end the important thing is to be followed directly by those who produce and develop the software, the more intermediaries there are and the more you create filters, barriers and problems.
not to mention the costs. try to inform you about the cost of implementing new functions or custom functions. try to go to any dealer and ask another tool to give you what it gives you ready in terms of functions and evaluate the digits.

I don't come in my pocket to talk well about ready, but by personal experience I can't talk otherwise.

Unfortunately to align ourselves with the company from which we were absorbed, we had to abandon solidworks and ready (ready dress does not work any more) and we should have gone to osd. I say "we should have" because unfortunately I have to deal with an obsolete mentality and we use the old me10 and pedal. so much the important is to produce paper!!!
I'm looking for, in the limit of possible and without letting anyone see me (unfortunately I'm so counted!!!:tongue, to do a universal study with welded, using sketches like a skeleton. using this I have a remarkable speed in shaping. once finished the study I should turn everything and pass it into osd for its encoding in pdm and put into the table. from here my problem of transforming welded and exporting them (see other discussion).
personally I would use only and exclusively solid with ready all my life. Unfortunately, I am not the one who makes the decisions about it, despite who draws the lines is the undersigned.

If you don't want to answer, don't worry.

Why shouldn't I answer you? You will not be one of the two of the readysolutions:biggrin: ...
apart from the jokes:
1 - My superiors don't even know about the existence of cad3d.
2 - our common friends of readysolutions are not aware of this officially, but I think they already know everything about the things we have asked.
3 - the osd technician who made me an update course understood very well what I wanted to do.
So I have a good conscience and I try to arrange something. I will be a visionary but in my little one I try to change things.

I want to break a spear for the two people.

If you want, I can break 3 or 4 of lances. They are exquisite people with whom you can talk quietly and are not at all stupid. they know the fact. and are always available to help you, as far as possible. at least for the experience I had.
