ForgePLM

ForgePLM is an opinionated PLM workflow for SolidWorks-based teams.

It is designed around ECO-centered change control, disciplined part numbering, revision control, and a clean separation between engineering work and production release records.

Current Status

ForgePLM is in early public-preview preparation. The current system includes:

• SQL Server database schema
• Static part category seed data
• WPF Admin application
• ASP.NET Runtime API
• SolidWorks Add-In integration

Core Philosophy

ForgePLM prioritizes clarity, traceability, and controlled engineering release discipline over convenience shortcuts.

Repository Structure

• src/ForgePLM.Admin — WPF administrative application
• src/ForgePLM.Runtime — ASP.NET API/runtime service
• src/ForgePLM.SolidWorks.Addin — SolidWorks task pane add-in
• db/schema — SQL Server schema scripts
• db/seed — static reference data
• docs — setup and usage documentation

💡 Tip: If you're using VS Code, open the repo with code . before running setup.

IMPORTANT

⚠️ Important: Set ForgePLM.Runtime.Host as the startup project before running.
