Re: DXF Flat Pattern uses PDM part number
It sounds like your system is set up to give a new file a serial number. You need to exclude DXF files from getting a serial number if that's the case.

Re: DXF Flat Pattern uses PDM part number
That sounds like the problem, but I can't find anywhere to change the setting. Could you point me to where the setting is for that?
Thanks,
Tom.

Re: DXF Flat Pattern uses PDM part number
Thomas Hotchkin You may have your SOLIDWORKS addin set to give files a serial number on Save As.
This is configured in SOLIDWORKS:
Tools > SOLIDWORKS PDM > Options
At the bottom of the page find "Vault Settings"
Select the appropriate vault
Select "Part"
Untick the "Automatically name files on save as with serial number"
Unfortunately this option is not filetype specific

Re: DXF Flat Pattern uses PDM part number
That sounds like the problem, but I can't change those settings. They are greyed out for some reason? Have tried while logged into PDM as myself and as an admin.
Thanks for your help!

Re: DXF Flat Pattern uses PDM part number
Thomas, Sorry for the delay I was on the road.
The reason these settings are greyed out is that you are not logging into the vault as "Admin". In this case an admin is not good enough it has to be THE admin.
The reason for this restriction is that any changes made here affect all users of the vault.
