Project Icons

SolidWorks Workgroup PDM organizes SolidWorks documents based on the SolidWorks hierarchy. For example, components of an assembly are indented directly under the assembly. For non-SolidWorks documents, you specify in the Check In Document dialog box where to place documents in the project tree. Documents can appear more than once in a tree.

Icons represent the projects, documents, and the Workgroup PDM vault.

	Vault	The vault name and current user appear next to the vault icon at the top of the vault view.
	Project	The project name appears next to the project icon.
	My Workgroup PDM Documents	The folder specified in Options as the default Workgroup PDM folder.
	Open in SolidWorks	The opened SolidWorks documents icon appears at the top of the local view.

Permissions

The project icon and text color indicate the permissions you have for the project.

	Sample Project	Colored icon with black text	Read/write access.
	Sample Project	Colored icon with orange text	Read-only access.
	Sample Project	Transparent icon and gray text	No access.

Document Status

The document icon indicates the document status in the vault. Document status is also displayed in the local view.

	Magenta-colored circle on document icon	You checked out this document.
	Cyan-colored circle on document icon	Another user checked out this document.
	Shortcut icon on or next to a document icon	This is a shortcut reference to the actual document, which resides in another project.

Document icons represent the application that handles the associated data type. If the Windows icon appears, there is no application on your computer that is associated with that data type. Application files that contain a .exe extension appear with the default application icon.
