Data Migration Systems
Choose from our four migration service packages based on your specific needs.
The Entry-level system is designed to meet the basic needs of customers migrating data from Windows Explorer and/or SOLIDWORKS Workgroup who desire limited clean-up of their data.
Included Support
The system comes with 40 hours of mentoring/development time to be utilized for migration-related training, setup, validation, and development.
Migration Features
Support for basic SOLIDWORKS property/reference/revision issues is provided. Additionally, there is limited duplicate name/content clean-up included in the system's support.
Specific Migration Approach
The system is designed to migrate SOLIDWORKS Workgroup in an "as-is" fashion with limited clean-up, aligning with the desire for minimal data modification.

SOLIDWORKS WorkGroup PDM Extraction service
TriMech’s SOLIDWORKS WorkGroup PDM Extraction service allows for vaulted data to be extracted. The files can then be placed in windows explorer folders. During the service we provide these options.
- Extraction Path
- The root of the path to start extraction of project structure
- It is difficult to determine the amount of space required for this operation, be sure you have at least 8 times the free space available over the current vault size
- Zip Data
- Specifies to ZIP the data that is extracted
- ZIP Clean up
- Specifies to remove the folders after extraction
- ZIP Leave Latest
- Specifies to leave the latest version only extracted to the drive
- ZIP Compression Level
- ZIP Name
- Wild cards {n} for name and {r} for revision
This service allows for the revision history of all documents to be extracted. Due to nature of the history in the vault, compression into a ZIP format is recommended. We offer extraction without file compression if requested. These processes can create significant duplication of data.
