    Updating PDMWorks Vault with Task Sheduler

Does...

    Render manager prefixes

    If this is the case can you explain why in the tree of an assembly a part can appear several times with finishes applied, if all these modify the part at part level what colour would it be and would the part not have three finishes applied. Also this still does not answer what the (c) stands...
