Re: Local File
Hi!
you can right click on the file and choose: add to the vault.
The second thing is: are you destroy the file or delete the file? Right click on the folder with this files, go to properties and you can see the tab 'deleted items'. From this tab you can restore your files.
The other thing - in PDM Administration right click on a group/specific user/'Users' Branch, thank go to 'Explorer' tab and you can check which files you want to see (all files, just added to the vault or just local files). You can also check the option: 'Automatically delete local flles....'.
Moreover, you can read Administration Guide: C:\Program Files\SOLIDWORKS PDM\Lang\GB\
Let me know if you have another questions.
Regards
Alek

Re: Local File
I am trying to destroy the model and the drawing for no reason other than to remove it from the vault because I just used it as a test part. the model is still there and I can check it out and back in and is listed as "released to production" the drawing however is greyed out and when I try to check it in nothing happens. and I can't seem to do anything with it other than look at the file sitting there in the vault. I looked through the admin guide as you suggested but I can't seem to find a solution.
Sorry if I'm being vague, I'm new to PDM

Re: Local File
As you logged as Admin you have full permision. If you logged as someone else - you need to 'give' you permision to destroy files both: as folder permision and state permision (for all the states that files has been). Then just shift+del on your keyboard.
The gray file mean that the file is in specific windows folder but not add to the vault (no record in the database)

Re: Local File
I believe my log-in is as the admin, but I could be wrong. here are the permissions I have for that folder in the vault. I searched everywhere I can think of for that file in windows folders and can't locate it.
In addition, I created another test part model outside of the vault and saved it on my desktop and tried to move it into the vault and I got a message saying it already exists. there are only 3 folders with 3 files total in the vault (it's a brand new system) and that file doesn't show up anywhere.

Re: Local File
Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe) and go to folder you need (cd.. / cd "<location>") and then put "dir" command. is the file here?
The same permision you need in states (destroy/delete)

Re: Local File
I don't feel confident using the command prompt. I wouldn't want to mess up the system.

Re: Local File
You can always go to your user and change your settings. Select Explorer and check the box under "Local file clean-up: Automatically delete local read-only files that are not part of the file vault". If you have deleted a file or folder and see a ghost file left behind like you are talking about then this will remove it the next time you log on.

Re: Local File
Thank you Aleksander. I think I got past that issue but I have many more.
Right now I am trying to figure out how to auto fill the title block of a drawing when I select the "make drawing from Part" option in the file pull down menu. I think it would be easier, quicker, and create fewer typos than entering the data manually.

Re: Local File
You have a complete example in Administration Guide.pdf.
In 2018 English version read from page 470. Exactly example starts on 474 page "Variable Mapping for SOLIDWORKS Example: Mapping Model Custom Properties ($PRPSHEET Annotations)"
