It's getting complicated but I have added some ADMIN only
loops to move items back to the starting state and an Obsolete
state that serves as deleting from use.
Also, I have a questions regarding your SolidWorks data card. Do
you use the same card for parts, assemblies and drawings? When does
the user fill out the meta data information (in SolidWorks
properties or on checkin)?
Do you always create SolidWorks files from templates? (It appears
that you use a template to create the filename (drom document
number) - correct?
Do you use the same card for parts, assemblies and drawings?
Yes.
When does the user fill out the meta data information (in
SolidWorks properties or on checkin)?
Properties are filled in when the part/asembly is created.
Drawings derive their data from the parent.

The goal is to create all new CAD data from templates in the
database using the PDMWE Template function (I have several for
autocad, inventor and Solidworks). We have a custom add-in for the
drawing numbers.
