The holiday season is still in full swing, so I've been thinking about fresh baked cookies all week. But have you ever thought about how many cookies everyone that opens the cookie jar is eating? I wondered the same thing and then wondered how many files people are downloading from my PDM Vault and then what they're doing with them (the holidays are lots of fun in my family). Well for the 4th time this year, Jeff Sweeney is joining InPOD to talk with my about file security. We talk about everything from no security, all the way to the full security of Curtain e-locker. And finally, we talk about the solution right in the middle of those 2 - CacheMeter.

Did you know InPOD has a drinking game? Me neither! This week, Jeff Sweeney joins the podcast once again, this time to talk about working with different data sets. We take a look at using the BOM Export in both PDM Standard and Professional, as well as working with XMLs, homemade tools, and even writing a little code. And he gives some insight as to how you can participate in his favorite drinking game!

This week, I want to talk about some of my favorite features in SOLIDWORKS PDM. I've been covering them the last few weeks on the InFlow Blog and they are Delete vs Destroy, Branch and Merge, Copy Tree and Move Tree, and Versions vs Revisions.

I'm going to talk about these features from a high level and give you a use case for each one. Now my favorite things will be some of your favorite things in SOLIDWORKS PDM!

Data management is a big topic with the podcast. No matter how you want to manage your data, InFlow Technology has a solution that can fit what you need. But what are those solutions? SOLIDWORKS has so many options, can we just talk about data management from a high level? Well this week, Kurt Lundstedt of Dassault Systemes joins the podcast and we do just that. First, we talk about the start of SOLIDWORKS data management. Later, we talk about the evolution and expansion of data management. And finally, we talk about a survey SOLIDWORKS ran in 2015 about why customers don't have PDM. You don't want to miss it!
