SolidWorks this morning announced SW PLM, the first stage being SolidWorks Product Data Sharing Space.
This consists of two parts: an app integrated into SolidWorks 2011 that lets you select community members with which to share drawings. Simply drag drawing into sidebar and the drawing is copied to "the cloud."
Community members can view and edit the drawing by dragging it from their sidepanel into solidworks 2011.
Non-solidworks users can access a Web page that uses 3DLive to view and comment the drawing.
Other features to be added include BOM, compliance checking, and so on. It looks like all this cloud stuff will cost $$$, since the phrase "select on demand to minimize IT cost". Also, this feature is limited to users of SW 2011.
