Can MDM preview CAD files without opening the authoring application?

Updated

MDMCAD previewSolidWorks

Direct answer

MDM supports previews for many managed file types and can be configured to show formats such as SolidWorks part files through an appropriate viewer component. Previewing helps users identify the intended document quickly, although editing and authoritative validation still belong in the native CAD system.

Practical checkpoint

Verify preview support with the current MDM and Windows versions using actual company files before promising coverage for an entire CAD archive.
