This is more a general guestion than anything specific to PDM
works. We use Smarteam here at Wayne and I just wanted to know...
Do you guys use a design library along with PDM/Works? I'm thinking you can't do that because of the check-in/check-out procedures making the vault files have a different revison than the library files.
TIA,
Steve

We use toolbox items (nuts, bolts etc.), which are held under the design library, in conjunction with PDM Works. PDM does not check these items in in the conventional sense - instead it checks them in as a "non-revision managed" item meaning that PDM knows the item is located within the design library and does not up-rev these items when you check in an assembly containing toolbox parts.
I can't say for certain that the same applies to custom items you add to the library so perhaps someone else might be able to advise?
Hope that at least partially answers your question.

David
