I have my part files on a server (storage device) that is not running PDM or has SolidWorks Explorer on it. I want to search where used on the parts. I cannot use SolidWorks Explorer as it only searches my local computer.
Is there a way within SolidWorks to look at where a part is referenced?
it has been many years since i used explorer, but i would be surprised if they took out the capability to set where it looks - it should be in the settings.
Hi,
When I try to use this tool the following error comes up.
"Failed to set Document Manager Class Factory."
What does that mean. Everything I type gives this same message.
Any Help??
Also have a look at this thread.
Joel Condevaux is using indexing and should bring results fairly fast. You will still need SW Document Manager license key
Hello.
In fact, you need a Docmanager license key only if you want to index properties .
You can use Bibotac without it.
This seems to reference using SolidWorks Explorer. I do not want to use explorer as it does not reside on the server where I am checking files.
The Server is only a storage device until we can get PDM up and running.
I need to check if any configuration within a file is used anywhere before I delete the file.
(There are two different files that configurations were created in but I don't know if the one file was ever used anywhere.) Can I use Bibotac just to check the file name against the assembly files I have on the server?
Not that I know of. But, in Treehouse you can bring in the assy and it will show the parts used.
