Comparing the '@' and Default tabs on a PDM Data Card

Problem

This article compares the '@' and Default tabs on a PDM Data Card and how they relate to Custom and Configuration-specific file properties in SOLIDWORKS. 

Solution

SOLIDWORKS files are capable of taking on both Custom file properties and Configuration-specific file properties, as illustrated below.

SOLIDWORKS Properties tabs

A new SOLIDWORKS file has a single configuration called ‘Default’. Therefore, assuming a file’s initial configuration has not been renamed and no additional configurations have been added, the file’s Data Card will have an ‘@’ tab and a ‘Default’ tab in SOLIDWORKS PDM. An example of this is shown below.

Data Card Tabs

The ‘@’ tab, also known as the ‘as-built’ tab, displays a file’s custom properties, while one or more configuration tabs (the ‘Default’ tab in this case) display configuration-specific file properties. These '@' and 'Default' tabs correspond respectively to the Custom and Configuration tabs in SOLIDWORKS, as shown below.
