At what point does the PDMworks system lag in proformance?
100,000 files?
1,000,000 files?
more?
How many files to you manage? How many users do you manage?
Thank you for the input.
I am having this same problem. We are just now getting our PDMworks vault going, and one of my users cannot check-in. They also keep getting the ERROR 102.
I am the PDMworks Admin. I know that they do have the proper rights to the project. Plus they are doing a new check-in, so having...
Here is the deal:
- I created an assembly with some “in context” parts, and some parts created and brought into the assembly.
- I created a drawing file for the assembly, with notes, dimensions, and a Bill of Material (solidworks style).
-Now I needed a similar assembly, so I did a Save As on...
engAlright,
I have not tried to load the parts from my hard drive. But because the problem seems to be consistantly happening to certain parts, I don't believe it is a network erorr.
We are running a Windows Network (as of about 6 months ago).
With the assemblies on, or off, the network...
Jon,
Yes, thank you. I am aware of the ALT + drag trick, as well.
If you guys can answer my original question, I will be able to eliminate both of these steps.

Any way you want to say it the configuration is not being remembered.
When you drag a part out of a...
We have created a library of parts, that we use all the time. We have allocated the directory, containing these parts, as a "design library" in [File Locations] under [Options]. Many of these parts have several configurations (example: fasteners - config by length).
We like this because you...
Before all is said and done...
Check this out: If you want to just save the section view as a .dwg file. Create a new sheet in your drawing file - go back to the sheet with the section view on it - grab the view from the feature tree - drag the view onto the new sheet (in the feature tree) -...
If you go into [Tools]->[Options]->[Systems Options]->[Display/Selection], there is a check box with the label "Allow selection in wireframe and HLV modes" in the "Selection of hidden edges" frame. Make sure this check box is checked.
HLV = Hidden Lines Visible
That should cure your problem.
Our company, like many others, loathes spending money unless it is absolutely needed. We are begining to implement Solidworks thoughout our engineering department, and have found that our plotter has problems when plotting Solidworks drawing files.
Our plotter is a HP DesignJet 430 (D/A1) with...
