<h1><span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 7.5pt;">SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional API Help</span></h1>
<h1>Programming Items</h1>

<div class=Section1>
<p>
A file in SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional consists of two parts: </span>
</span>
</p>
<ul>
<li class=kadov-p>
The file that is stored on the archive server.</li>
<li class=kadov-p>The metadata associated with the file, or an item, which is
stored in the SQL database. </li>
</ul>
<p>
The metadata consists of card contents, file references, permissions, workflow
states, revisions, etc. An item is all of the metadata
associated with a file. Most of the existing functions that work for files have been adjusted so that they also work for
items.
Only a few functions are specific to items.</p>
<p>
All items and item folders are placed
under a folder named "&lt;items&gt;", which is located directly beneath the vault root.
SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional does not show this folder in the user interface, but it is
included in the paths returned by&nbsp;the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional API. </p>
<p>
All items have the file extension, ".&lt;item&gt;". This extension in also hidden in the user interface, but
it is
returned by the SOLIDWORKS PDM Professional API.</span></p>
