It seems like the only way to do this is rename in SWE the part and drawing and then rename it in the assembly. Seems way too time consuming.

Any help is appreciated! ]]> https://forum.solidworks.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=14398 Fri, 22 Aug 2008 06:59:12 EST Simon Brooke 1 I thought perhaps my problem may have been related to another topic which states SW Explorer won't run and to that end, I updated my .NET 3 stuff. My error is not quite the same though - when I go into the options and change my search path, the error pops up when I try to apply the new search paths.

Please, if you've fixed the problem, would you help. Without the explorer we cannot do a where used on non-vaulted parts - and that's asking for trouble.

I've a quick question. In our project template folders at work we have a drawings folder which is divided up into part models (divided into tooling parts and parts by manufacturers), assembly models and detailed drawings (customer supplied, tooling parts etc). As we're working on a project we design up parts and assign them part numbers but some of them become obsolete, i.e. they're not used or they are revised.

I want to be able to move the obsolete/redundant parts into another folder (named obsolete or redundant) but I want to maintain assembly references. I've noticed so far that this doesn't work with cut and past. For exmple if I have an assembly named A606-A001 and I rev this up to A606-A001R01 and then cut and paste the A606-A001 into the redundant folder and then maye open a detailed drawing of it, it can't find it. I just want to e able to maintain references.

Do I need PDM for this or can it be done on Solidworks or Solidworks Explorer?

God bless,

Phil. ]]> https://forum.solidworks.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=14006 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:11:21 EST Francis Sison 2

Prior to moving files into PDMWW I tried to organize a very flat structure in SolidWorks into multiple subdirectories. Assemblies and parts were copied into the folders (making sure the local references of subassembly and its parts are ok). I then replaced the original "flat" assembly file in SWEx, so instead of looking in the "flat" directory it looks in the "subdirectory." At this point replace correctly identifies the where used parent assembly information .

Now after the replace is executed, the subassembly does not have the where used information, it is blank. In addition, the original flat assembly is now also blank. The parent assembly correctly seems to point to the new subassembly though.

That's almost good. However, if I now want to check that all the parent assemblies (there are multiples) are updated correctly, I do need the where used information in new subassembly so that I can identify those parents.

Is there any way (or a best way) to reestablish this information in the subassembly?

Thank You,
Mike

Or where can I get a book on Solidworks explorer, we upgraded from PDM works to Solidworks explorer and no one knows how to use it ]]> https://forum.solidworks.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=13013 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 04:17:47 EST Mohamed Abdel Moniem 2 https://forum.solidworks.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=12880 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 11:56:21 EST Kirk Jess 1 https://forum.solidworks.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=42&threadid=12812 Wed, 25 Jun 2008 05:35:15 EST Mark Aspinall 1 I used the following script to install:
-------------------------------------------------
msiexec /i "\\HOSTNAME\software$\SW2007 SP5\English_i386_SolidWorks.msi" INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\SolidWorks" SOLIDWORKSSERIALNUMBER="0000 0000 0000 0000" ENABLEPERFORMANCE=0 INSTALLWDS=0 SERVERLIST=00000@flexsrv ADDLOCAL=SolidWorks,PhotoWorksRender,SampleFiles,Manuals,RealViewGraphicsdisplay,ScanTo3D,SolidWorksTaskScheduler,SolidWorksToolbox,SolidWorksUtilities,SolidWorksExplorer /qb
shutdown.exe -r
--------------------------------------------------

Is there an way to Install Solidworks Installer onto the existing Images using the msiexec script??
If id added the OFFICEOPTION=1 would that have installed Solidworks Explorer??

many Thanks ]]>
