Here's something I have never seen before.
I recently started a new job. They have SW2015, I'm working on the 2020 update.
I'm connected VPN from home.
Since last week I have been working on several dwgs/assy's. This morning I received a new 3Dconnexion spacemouse. Our IT guy connected to my PC via VPN to install it. Then PC rebooted.
Now, when I open my files, all changes I have worked on since last week are gone!
I save as I go, and they are in PDM. Only previous version shows.
I have backup setup, they are gone.
Anyone seen this before? If so, have you found a way to get back the files?
Our admin and IT don't know.
it kind of sounds like the reboot incorrectly cleared your local PDM cache. (it is never supposed to clear checked out files - you did have them checked out, right?). and if that is the case, they are GONE.
but a couple of other things to confirm;
