SOLIDWORKS EPDM Transition Conditions

SOLIDWORKS EPDM Transition Conditions can be added to a workflow transition to limit which files can pass through the transition. As an example, a file can only pass through a workflow if the variable ‘Checked By’ contains an associated value.

A Transition Action

In this example, in a proceeding transition, a user’s initials are mapped to a variable through a transition action.

‘OR’ and ‘AND’ Conditions

‘OR’ and ‘AND’ conditions can also be applied to better control the workflow. In the example below the variable “Checked By” has to have a value of “Bob” OR “Doug” AND the variable State must have a value of “Approved”.
