Hi everyone I have a major issue and hopefully you can understand this and help me find a solution
We have EO's that start the process of Scanning part, Modeling Part etc. the boys don't want the Models to stay in EO when completed they want them to be in there final resting place.
So in our case it can be
(original) If we had a drawing that was legible along with all data model made and placed here
Libraries/Douglas/Book5
If Scan required because drawing illegible data not available or just cause they want this now
Starts as
EO/Douglas/Book5 but these files stay here when completed
they want
EO/Douglas/Book5 to move Book 5 to Libraries/DOuglas/Book5 and no models in the EO
How do I do that and why would I want to move them? They feel that once released that it should automatically move to the correct folder.
I hope you get what they want and can help me give them what they want as these files.
Thanks Renee
Hi Renee,
I would completely Agree with you asking why the models have to move. This is the 21st century, moving files is a practice for 1990. I disagree with moving files when complete. File management is not something a PDM admin should recommend either. Moving SOLIDWORKS models will eventually bite you square in the saddle because of broken references.
Try this yourself first and see if this makes sense. Create your parts in the final resting place, select the EO affected files, right click and select copy, then navigate to the EO and right click on it and select paste as reference. This will create links so the affected models show up in the Contains tab of the EO. Nice and tidy!
