Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
Yeah I had them checked out alright when I was trying to move them.

Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
You might try deleting them from the vault again (making sure you have a local copy first), and then try checking them back in to the folder that you want to move them to.

Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
That would work but its normally easy and straightforward to just move between PDM folders isn't it?

Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
Barry, did you use the Restore function in the admin under Archive Project, or did you just browse to the folder and try and recheck the folder in?
-
Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
No you can only use the restore function if you've archived something. This is what my reseller tells me.
I deleted a folder with stuff in it. The only way to get it back was to browse the obsolete folder within the vaultdata, copy the relevant files onto my local drive and check in that way.

Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
Yeah, it normally is (It's been a few months since I used Workgroup, but I seem to remember it being fairly easy anyway). Of course, if your files somehow got corrupted the first time around, it may be causing some wierd issue.
Are you able to move other files, or is it just these few that don't work? If it is only a few files, you may need to contact your VAR to see if it is a bug.

Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
Yeah its just these files that I cant move so they must be corrupt or missing something that allows me to move them

Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
Barry, a couple of things to check.
Make sure that your obsolete components are restricted by a lifecycle state that says they can't return to a previous status like Work in Progress or Released.
Make sure that you have read/write access tot he project where' you're trying to move the files.
Once you've taken care of those things, you should be able to relocate your files in in the SolidWorks client or SolidWorks explorer by selecting them, right-clicking and doing 'Change Project...."
You can do this for all files within a project by right-clicking on the project folder and selecting 'Change Project...' from there.
Good luck.

Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
Dont use lifecycle so I assume this rules that out.
I've everything else and its still not working.
Thanks for your help guys.

Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
Did you try validating your vault through the admin. That might repair any corruptions as well.
-
Re: Problems Moving Files Within PDM
Good idea. I will try that and get back to you. My VAR has suggested that I might need to delete files again and check them into correct folder but I'll try the validation first. Thanks all.
