从另一个程序打开Solidworks PDM目录

Question

I want to open/start a folder that is in Solidworks PDM from another application.

I'm using C# and use this code:

Process.Start(@"C:\Sandbox\Test");

The Sandbox directory is a View directory. When I manually navigate to this directory it logs into the vault and view all directories as it should.

When I execute the above code I just get an explorer of the directory, but without PDM functionality.

Is there any way to be able to do this?

You can use a conisio link that is handled when the PDM client is installed. The format of the link is like this;

conisio://<vaultname>/<action>?projectid=<ProjectID>&documentid=<DocumentID>&objecttype=1

action being explore .

You'll obviously need to know the folder/project ID, but you can use any document ID that is not deleted in the system. Just pass that string to Process.Start() .

Process.Start("conisio://Sandbox/explore?projectid=1005&documentid=7543&objecttype=1");

For reference, here are the other actions.

Where: <vaultname> is the name of the file vault <ProjectID> is the database ProjectID of the folder where the file is located in the vault <DocumentID> is the database DocumentID of the file <action> is one of the following: open – Opens the file in associated application view – Opens the configured “Viewer” application for the file explore – Opens an explorer window in the folder the file resides and selects the file get – Triggers a Get of the file to the local file vault view lock – Checks out the file properties – Brings up the file properties history – Brings up the file history
