Re: Cannot create Solidworks Part or Assembly
Andries Koorzen Jun 9, 2011 3:55 AM (in response to Ray Luck)Hi Ray.
The best way to troubleshoot this would be to open the administration tool (if you have access to it) and go to the workflow.
Select the workflow state that are are trying to copy "from" e.g. if the file is in the approved state, select the approved state in the workflow section, and make sure that you have the rights you need in this state to copy files

Ray Luck Jun 9, 2011 6:17 AM (in response to Andries Koorzen)Hi Andries,
Thank you for your reply.
I don't think the document is actually in a workflow yet. I'm just trying to create a new file.
I can copy and paste a file into the vault directory but I cannot create a new part/assembly.
Cheers.

Scott McFadden Jun 9, 2011 6:38 AM (in response to Ray Luck)Ray,
Are you trying to create the new part or assembly from within a session
of Solidworks? Sounded based on your wording that you were trying to
create it or start it from within EPDM. Try from within the SW session.

Faur Arama Jun 9, 2011 6:53 AM (in response to Ray Luck)Hi Ray
The part that you want to use as template is checkin?
On what credentials you run this template? The user on witch credentials you run this template has "Read.." rights on part workflow and folder?

Re: Cannot create Solidworks Part or Assembly
Wayne Tiffany Jun 9, 2011 9:31 AM (in response to Ray Luck)Interesting. When I RMB I don't get the option of creating a new SW part or assy. I can create a new Office doc, but no SW files. But I'm also a bit confused as to why you would want to create a SW like that. Are you trying to create a new file as part of a workflow? What's your thoughts here?

Lee CS Young Jun 9, 2011 10:21 AM (in response to Wayne Tiffany)It's benefical for those that don't have SolidWorks installed but would like to create a new file and naming it using a serial number. It's also good for 'Save as Copy'.

Wayne Matus Jun 9, 2011 10:44 AM (in response to Ray Luck)I know you do not want to hear this, but EPDM is a software package that most companies purchase an implementation service from their VAR to get them up and running. As a bear minimum you should at least attend an Administering EPDM training class.
After looking closer at your thread, it looks like someone did setup your vault for you. It sounds like someone setup templates for creating Parts and Assemblies. Your first line of support would be the person that did your implementation.

Re: Cannot create Solidworks Part or Assembly
Ray Luck Jun 9, 2011 6:21 PM (in response to Pedro Branco)Hi All,
Thank you for your replies.
I will try and answer one by one.
Scott, yes I am trying to create the part in EPDM.
Faur, the template is not checked in. We have an assembly template and a part template that are configured in EPDM.
Wayne T, Well I was creating the file first, however the result was the same as going to Solidworks File-New-part/assembly. I should point out that under file locations in Solidworks, our templates are the templates in EPDM. Which are actual Part/Assembly Files not the usual .prtdot, drwdot, asmdot.
Wayne M, I am aware of this and yes we purchased EPDM with a quick start implementation package. I have a contacted our VAR and they are working with us but I still like to put things into the forum just to hear peoples opinion.
Pedro, this solved the problem. Thank you!
