New assembly doesn't show up in EPDM folder

Jim Exley Dec 17, 2015 10:51 AM

When I save an assembly as a new name in a folder in EPDM, it doesn't show up in the folder. I look for it via windows explorer and also by File / open within SW. This happens when, after I put in a new name for the assembly, the parts in the assembly are not checked out and windows pop for me to save them as a new filename also. I don't want to do that so I hit cancel on those dialogue boxes. The new assembly file is there because it opens if I use the File drop down and select it from recent files. I save it to my desktop then drag-and-drop it into the correct EPDM folder and I'm asked if I want to replace the existing file, so this confirms that it really is already in that folder. I do replace it and now it shows up in windows explorer and using File/Open in SW.

Anybody have a better fix?

Hey Jim,

Under your user settings make sure this is checked:

  Thanks you Charley. I don't have access to the user settings, it is greyed out for me, so I put in a request to the administrator to get that changed and we'll see if that helps.
  So if I save a file to a folder in the vault why would it not be recognized as being in the vault? I've had a similar issue where I cannot check in a new file. Again I save it to my desktop then drag-and-drop it into the folder to replace the one already there. Then I can check it in. Is this part of the same issue?

  The administrator and I are having difficulty locating the user settings. Where is it located?
  I tried to reproduce the problem but it didn't happen again.

    Hey Jim,
    
    Right click either a specific user or the entire users listing and click settings to get to that dialog. Saving in the vault should add it to the vault but canceling may leave a local file behind which you can only see with that setting turned on.

      Charley,
      Where do I find the users listing?
      I tried Jeremy's suggestion and it solves the problem. But I'd still like to check out this setting also.
      Jim

        In the admin tool just right click users and click settings:

try this setting - maybe if you don't have to cancel the other save as dialogs, the assembly will be correctly added to the vault (instead of just saved as a local file).

  Thanks Jeremy,
  I tried the process several times with and without this setting checked and it solved the issue. I'm pursuing Charley's suggestion also as it may be closer to the root problem, I'm just having trouble finding and getting access to the setting.
  
  Thanks for your help,
  Jim
