SolidWorks Project Tracking

You can upload your existing folder structure to Sibe PDM as it is. Sibe will preserve it in your local cache folder, so the layout your engineers are familiar with stays largely the same. The structure lives in the cache rather than your original location, so it will feel familiar without being identical. Your team keeps working in SolidWorks the way they always have, with version control, status tracking, and project visibility added on top.

Every time an engineer checks a file out or in through the SolidWorks add-in, Sibe updates the project version. State changes from In Progress to In Review to Released are reflected immediately across the whole team, with no manual updates or status reports required.

Yes. Sibe gives you a single view across all active projects, showing every file, its current state, version history, open tasks, and approval status. You can drill into any file for the full picture without opening SolidWorks.

Mark-ups in Sibe are pinned directly to specific parts, subassemblies, or drawings in the vault. When a design changes, the task stays attached to the version it belongs to, so engineers always know what needs doing on which component without switching to a separate project tool.

Yes. External collaborators are brought into the project through permission-controlled browser links. You decide exactly which files or folders they can see and whether they can view, comment, or download. The core project structure stays internal while suppliers and partners get the visibility they need to stay on track.

No. A single secure browser link is all they need. As long as they have been given access, they can open and inspect the relevant files in any browser, no account, no licence, and no installation required. Access is controlled by you, not by the recipient.

No. The Sibe add-in works inside SolidWorks, so engineers check files in and out directly in SolidWorks. Project tracking happens in the background. Engineers don't need to manage a separate system or change their workflow.

Most teams connect their existing SolidWorks projects and have Sibe running in about 30 minutes. There are no servers to configure, no VPN to set up, and no migration required. The team can start tracking project progress the same day.

Data is encrypted at rest and in traEvery version, task, review comment, and approval decision is logged automatically in Sibe and stays attached to the design throughout its history. You can step back through any previous version to see what the project looked like at that point including who made changes and what was approved.nsit, and access can be controlled at workspace/project/file level. Sharing links can be permission-scoped and revoked when needed.

Yes. All files are protected with AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest, hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure. Sibe PDM is SOC 2 Type II audited, with daily backups and disaster recovery built in so your product data is protected wherever your team is working from.
