LabVIEW drivers to perform vault actions on Solidworks EPDM files

[Trouble]

I would like to find out if anyone has any code written to work with the Solidworks PDMWorks Enterprise Type Library?  The very basic thing I would like to do is find out if a file in the vault is checked out or not, but it would be nice to know if other options are available also (e.g. Checkout, View Status, Get Latest, etc.).  If there is any code already written, it would be greatly appreciated so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

Thanks, Jeff

Hi Jeff

Could you give us some more information about what you are doing? Perhaps the LabVIEW SoftMotion Module could turn out being useful for you, in case you are not using it already.

I am not using the Softmotion Module, nor do I need it.  I just need to find out if a file is 'Checked Out' in the EPDM Vault.  If the file is checked out, I only want to prompt the user to go check it out first before continuing.  If Softmotion has this capability, then perhaps I could recreate just that VI, figuring out all of the activeX tags to use is a chore.  If there is nothing already out there, I'll get it figured out.

Hello Trouble

Did you find any solution for this EPDM problem? Im trying to get a solution for this as well.

=> Please let me know your solution.....

Thanks

I have not.  The only thing I am doing now is to give an error because the file cannot be written to and then I expalin that the most likely problem is due to not checking out the file.  It is not as automated as I would like, but all I have time to do for now.  Sorry.
