Install solidworks epdm
The instance type we’ve used is t2.medium and seemed to work fine.

With those recommendations in mind, I’d go through the following sequence. I have not once seen this be the cause of a problem over 10 years of using Solidworks, but they will basically refuse to support you until you get on to a supported machine.

If you see a blank window and a flashing cursor, it worked and the problem is likely on the client side.Ĥ Never tell Solidworks support if you are using an unsupported computer or graphics card Once telnet is activated, open the command prompt and type telnet mypdmserver 3030, where mypdmserver is replaced with your server hostname and 3030 is the PDM port (should be standard). This is by far the best way I’ve found for determining whether a problem is on the server / AWS security settings side or the client side. PDM will let you refer to the server by IP address early in the installation process, but it will break later in incredibly painful waysģ Enable telnet on your client computer and use it for debugging If you don’t have a nameserver set up, just put in the time to do it.

Recommendationsġ Start with an expectation that many things will go wrong, and budget 3 full days of work for setupĢ Only ever refer to your server by its hostname However, if you can’t switch to Onshape here are some recommendations and guides that will hopefully make the process somewhat less painful. Don’t do it - switch to Onshape (more on that later)
