I have been using SW Task Scheduler with Photoview 360 to run batches for animations i am creating, Previously, I was able to do this no problem and it was a huge time saver.
Lately, I have not been able to schedule because when the task activates, SW will open, then immediately shut down and the error message under the status column reads "Reference File(s) Missing". This slows me down signficantly because I have to babysit the renderings and manually start them all, and cannot do this when I am away from work and my computer.
It seems to have started being an issue after I updated to SW 2012.
Does anyone know about this and have any suggestions for solutions?
Problem Solved:
My problem is that I need to run all my files locally, since firewalls on the server prevent access for the task scheduler to find the files.
Make sure that all the reference files in your assembly are found locally.
Steps:
1. From within Solidworks, choose open
2. In the pane, highlight the assembly you wish to manage
3. Click the References tab in the lower right.
4. If the filepath is wrong for the part or sub-assembly, double click and choose the correct part/sub-assembly from the correct location
