Data management is critical in engineering projects. For SOLIDWORKS PDM users, optimizing local cache settings is important for both performance and security.
There are two main cache strategies:
-
Security-Focused Approach: "Clear cache during log out"
- Ideal for ITAR-compliant projects
- Provides security for multi-user environments
- Files are automatically deleted after each session
-
Performance-Focused Approach: "Refresh cache during log in"
- Suitable for frequently used templates
- Provides fast access
- Should be used only for specific folders
Important Note: Applying cache refresh to the entire vault increases network traffic and extends login time. Therefore, a selective approach should be adopted.
As a SOLIDWORKS PDM administrator, it's important to configure these settings according to your project's requirements. Proper cache management increases team efficiency and reduces security risks.
