PDMShell Changelog And Release Notes
Track PDMShell releases, new command-line features, SOLIDWORKS PDM add-in updates, script library templates, bug fixes, and upgrade notes.
Important
PDMShell 4.0.50 and newer use a signed per-user installer. Updates replace the existing installation automatically without requiring a manual uninstall or administrator privileges.
4.0.53 (2026-08-01)
- Updated the PDM add-in to use the installed PDMShell application instead of carrying and extracting a separate PDMShell archive. It checks the current per-user installation first, then legacy Program Files installations, and shows installation guidance when PDMShell is missing.
- Improved Claude Desktop setup during PDMShell installation and updates so stale
pdmcliconnections and development paths are replaced with the installedpdmshellconnection. - Renamed the Claude tools with a consistent
pdmshell_*prefix while retaining compatibility with their previous names. - Added clearer Claude tool titles, PDMShell product information, version details, and a help tool with documentation, troubleshooting, website, and licensing links.
- Added PDMShell branding metadata and the PDMShell icon to the MCP executable.
4.0.52 (2026-08-01)
- Added
refreshfor reloading current PDM file metadata and state without downloading or modifying files. - Added preview-first
rollbackwith targets by version number, previous version, date, or revision name. - Added MCP progress updates and cancellation for commands run from Claude Desktop.
- Improved command parameter controls so PDM file versions use numeric inputs, SOLIDWORKS versions show installed releases, and rollback flags use toggles.
- Improved PDM Administration compatibility with other WPF add-ins by isolating PDMShell UI initialization and assembly resolution.
4.0.51 (2026-07-31)
- Added Claude Desktop integration for discovering and running PDMShell commands, including command parameters and advanced searches.
- Added automatic Claude setup, updates, removal, and version reporting through the bundled
pdmshellconnection. - Claude uses the existing local PDMShell machine license and the same PDMShell version.
4.0.50 (2026-07-31)
Important
PDMShell 4.0.50 introduces breaking changes for the update process. You must uninstall PDMShell 4.0.49 or older manually and download the latest version.
- Replaced the legacy MSI distribution with
pdmcli_installer.zip, containing the signedpdmcli_installer.exe. - Added a per-user installation under
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Blue Byte Systems\PDMShell, including Desktop and Start menu shortcuts and a Windows Installed apps entry. - Improved installation, update, and uninstall handling so the PDMShell window does not open during setup operations.
- Updated PDMShell Updater to download the ZIP to a temporary folder, extract it, install the update silently, and start the updated application.
- Removed the updater's administrator requirement, UAC launch, and elevation shield UI.
- Updated application lookup so PDMShell reliably starts the current installed version while remaining compatible with older Program Files installations.
4.0.49 (2026-07-30)
- Updated file-specific placeholders, PDM variables, and expressions so they are evaluated when each script command runs instead of before the entire script starts.
- Fixed command sequences such as
setrevisionfollowed by$Revision,$(Revision.@), or a revision expression so the next command reads the newly applied revision. - Applied refreshed file context to Visual Code Editor runs,
runscript, add-in scripts, IF statements, and add-in condition evaluation.
4.0.48 (2026-07-30)
- Added a
Get trial licensebutton besideOrder licensefor direct access to the PDMShell trial license page. - Added an
Open PDMShell...Administration command that launches the application bundled with the PDM add-in and uses the current vault's configured license mode. - Fixed cancellation so PDMShell returns to the ready state and hides the cancel action after a cancellation request.

untilconditions by refreshing PDM file state on every attempt and reporting each evaluated condition with its attempt number and pass/fail result.
4.0.47 (2026-07-28)
- Added a per-script option that allows users to cancel command-menu and event-hook scripts from the progress dialog.
- Added
Canceland title-bar close actions that request cancellation without reporting the script as failed. - Cancelling a before-event hook also cancels the pending PDM operation.
4.0.46 (2026-07-28)

- Improved the optional script progress dialog with percentage, affected file or folder name, and a clearer command description.
4.0.45 (2026-07-28)
- Improved nested expression evaluation so PDM variables such as
$(Revision)are resolved before functions such as${lookup(...)}run. - Updated add-in script conditions to use the same PDM variable, placeholder, and expression function evaluation as PDMShell scripts.
- Improved file-specific script errors so PDMShell identifies the affected item and script line instead of continuing with an unevaluated command.
4.0.44 (2026-07-26)
- Updated
$userNameand$usernameso they consistently return the logged-in PDM user instead of the Windows account. - Updated PDM user profile placeholders for full name, first name, last name, and email across commands, conditions, and add-in menu, event, and task scripts.

setvar,runscript, generated script preview, and condition evaluation documentation to use the new PDM variable expression syntax. - File variables should use an explicit configuration suffix, such as
$(Revision.@)for the file@tab.
