I am currently implementing PDMWorks and am having a issue checking in files. If I check a file (part/assembly) into a project, then check a higher level assembly into the same project, PDMWorks drops the original file underneath the higher level assembly. Is their an option so this does not happen? Why doesn't the file show up in both places, one as a reference and one where at the root of the project?. How are other users suppost to be able to see certain files if they get moved to lower levels?

New to PDMWorks
Thanks

Correct Answer
That has always been a problem and I don't believe there is any option to change it. Instead, we generally tell our users to just use the search function when looking for a specific file.

We have also broken our projects up by part number and file type. Therefore we have projects called "a000-099" where we check in assemblies numbering 000000 thru 099999 and likewise for parts would be "p000-099" and drawings "d000-009" and then purchased parts like plumping would be in their own project or hydraulic cyclinders their own project, etc. That way you can browse for parts without having them buried under a higher assy.
