It can be challenging for a PDM Admin to enable this option for a group\u002Fuser after the vault is initially implemented. The reason behind this is there isn’t an ‘Enable Get Command’ checkmark box that an Admin can select. This command is only available for users when multiple options in the Administration tool are set together. So what can you do? Let’s review the options a PDM Admin must set appropriately before the user has access to ensure this command is available.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"size-large thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-1.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11415\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-1.png.webp 735w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-1-300x232.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>How to enable ‘Get’ command in SOLIDWORKS PDM\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"size-large thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"306\" height=\"274\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-2.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11416\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-2.png.webp 306w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-2-300x269.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>Where to find ‘Get’ command in SOLIDWORKS PDM\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>On the Group\u002FUser, under ‘Permissions per Folder’ link on the left, select:\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Read file contents\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>Show working versions of files\n\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Note: this option is especially critical for those files that are not revision controlled; typically PDFs\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"size-large thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"741\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcommand-3.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11417\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcommand-3.png.webp 741w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fcommand-3-300x275.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 741px) 100vw, 741px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>Permissions per Folder checkboxes\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>On the Group\u002FUser, under ‘State Permissions’\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>Read file contents\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\u003Cdiv class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cfigure class=\"size-large thumbnail wp-caption aligncenter\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-4.png.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11418\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-4.png.webp 737w, https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002F2025\u002F02\u002Fget-command-4-300x273.png.webp 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption>Check Read file contents in Permissions\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003Cp>The most important tip here is for the Admin to understand the type of file the user wants to see.
