Hi 973,
I currently an employee at SolidWorks and I wanted to let you know that the software you receive from our free sponsorship comes with a data management software. This program is called Workgroup PDM. It works across a network and allows users the ability to check in and check out different files as well as set permissions on different files for different users. For more information see below.
