Hi,
When a part file and drawing file are located in the same directory in the PDM vault I am able to RMB and open the drawing from the part. When the drawing file is located in a different folder location in the vault SW is unable to locate the file and I have to browse or search to find it. Is the PDM system able to be setup in a way that it can open a drawing that is located in a different folder location? In the opposite direction it works as expected-if the drawing is open I am able to RMB on a drawing view to open the part which is located in a different folder. This seems like something that should be fairly easy, am I missing something?
Thank you,
Ian
I did some testing and all I can find is that when closed and reopened the part can no longer find the drawing if it is in a different folder.
It is curious that the user setting for Check In has a setting for finding the drawing when it is in a different folder, but that does not apply to opening the drawing from the part.
Opening the part from the drawing works because the drawing is a child of the part. It has to open the part to open the drawing. I guess they figure the drawing should be in the same folder as the part so they don't need to save the location info in the model.
Sorry I could be more help.
