The “Design Collection” functionality in PLM has been introduced to replace the EDMS Drawing Folders functionality. However it is still possible to use an EDMS Drawing Folder together with a PLM design collection as described hereafter.

Detailed information about the PLM functionality can be found here: Design Collection FAQ

If you still require the EDMS Drawing Folder, you can link the PLM Design Collection directly to it:

1. Copy the link of the Design Collection:

2. Add the link of the Design Collection to the EDMS Drawing Folder:

3. Release the EDMS Drawing Folder to ensure traceability.

Current limitation: Access to PLM data can't be given to users with light-weight accounts like in EDMS, if this is required, please contact support to find a suitable solution for your case.

The plotting from EDMS Drawing Folders and Caddie is currently not compatible with PLM drawings. Instead of plotting PLM data from EDMS, once the “Design Collection” is filled in and approved in the PLM, you can perform the following steps to send a collection of drawings to any plotter:

• Download the converted/stamped files to your local machine: How to extract / download files from the PLM?

• Print the Drawings on any plotter, following the standard methodology: How to print multiple drawings at once with PDF X-Change Editor?
