Hi all,
I have a colleague working in PDM standard and he had a finished project that he did not "check in" in PDM, he did go "get last version". All files are now back to that last version that was on PDM, why his NEW VERSION never got on PDM server. Is there a way to recover those informations and get that real last version that he had before getting last version.
Nice day
Antonio
I am sorry, but no.
The files are on his local drive. During get latest PDM will prompt all your local changes will be lost.

I think the same way and said them to be careful by working in PDM, but i had a little hope that not all is lost...
thanks for response.
If Backup is set-up, you should be able to recover from there.
You mean the SolidWorks backup setting...
2017 SOLIDWORKS Help - Backup/Recover Options
That is probably an older version as well.
"Backup stores a backup of the original document before any changes are saved to the file. It is one version before the last saved version of the document."
It should be the last saved version. SW creates a backup every time you save.
Andreas, was that a statement or a wish? SolidWorks only saves a backup if you have it set to and as Richard stated it is one version before the last saved. In order to get it to match the last saved you need to save twice.
I am not so sure about how it is supposed to work, but it has saved me more than a few times in the past.
I just did a little test.
open a drawing make no change, save.
make a change, save
make no change, save
SW created 3 back-up copies of the File.
It appears you have you backup settings set to make more than one backup copy per document, which can be a good thing. The number of backup copies SW makes is found in your system options. I am currently set to one but I advise users who have issues losing work to set it higher.
I have had it set to seven for some time. Seems excessive but I have gone back to at least 5.
The folder is on a second Hard drive, so i am not concerned about size. No Harm in having more then you need.
I am sorry, but no.
