No - there is not a way to overwrite a previous version. -
Avoid generating versions
Thats really a good question, and I have one more question
- Is there any possibility to delete particular version ?
lets say I have version1, version2, version3, If I want to delete only version2 and keep version1 and version3, is it possible ? and how ?
- How can I delete particular revision ? for instance : if I want to delete Revision A and I want to keep all the rest
Version1 (OK)
Version2 (OK)
Version3 (OK)
- REV A (to be deleted)
Version4 (OK)
Version5 (OK)
REV B (OK)
Anybody knows how to do it ?
thanks -

You cannot choose a version to delete. The best you could do would be to roll back to a chosen version.-

Is it possible to roolback a particular version?

well, Anand r. thats what I'm talking about, its really important to know how to do it
because its important to reduce some size from the archive server
I found out how to do it but the problem is you can't choose particular version, you must start from the most recent or the most previous versions
you must start from the Maximum or from the Minimum
this could explains better :
Version1 (you can start deleting from here)
Version2 (you can't delete this version without deleting v1)
Version3 (you can't delete this version without deleting v1 and v2 or v4 and rev.A)
Rev A (you can't delete this reversion without deleting v4)
Version4 (you can start deleting from here)
- you can delete version4 and rev A by roll-back.
- you can delete version1 and version2 by setting a cold storage schema.-

I haven't use PDMW in a while, but there used to be an option when you check in to go to a 1+ or 2+ revision and it would just overwrite the previous version.Anand r wrote:

I can be dangerous becasue some new guy could come in and start overwriting things that he shouldn't

I think there is no possibility to do that in PDM Enterprise, but I think there could be solution by API program
I don't know much about API
but I hope someone in the forum could help .

Why would anyone whats to overwrite a previous version ?
it makes no sence. ?
why would you use cold storage, if you can't restore cold storge data.
it makes no sence ?
Why not buy some more storage ?
it makes sence.

I agree with Rune on this one to a point.. The whole point in having a PDM system is to be able to maintain revision and version control on documents. If you somehow were able to automatically delete or overwrite versions of a file, that ruins it.
But at the same time, for a company as large as mine, I've been wondering just how long we'll be able to run without having major issues with storage on the archive server. In theory, you could just keep adding servers and adding servers.. but yikes.. eventually that's just going to be insane.-

I heard that PDMWE doesn't store a version of each file, only the bits that changed from the previous version and rebuilds the file when you access a version.-

No.. Saved in seperate files
In the "old" days Conisio 5 (i guess) the it was the BIT diff. there were saved.
But not anymore -

Hi Mike -
That is no longer true. It was the case in the very early days of Conisio, but, has not been that way for quite some time.

It may no longer store jsut the differences. However, it does not always create a new file. If it determines that Versions 1 & 2 are the same, then it only saves version 1 and sets a pointer for Version 2 to the Version 1 file.
See attached image for an example.-

If you REALLY need to overwrite the latest version. You should be able (depending on your user permissions) to "roll back" to the previous version. and then when you make the new version it will be the same version number as before.
But I agree with the rest when they say that this is a BAD idea. the system is there to record you document history.
