Our VAR said that SW currently uses the UG platform(engine). Since Dassault Systemes owns both Catia and SW, they have discussed changing the platform(engine) for SW from UG to Catia. Catia and SW will still be seperate programs, they will just be based off of/running off of the same...

No problem Eric, glad I could help! Kimberly

Try going to Tools Options Hole Wizard/Toolbox and uncheck "Make this folder the default search location fo Toolbox components" It seems to re-heck this box everytime I do software or service pack upgrade.

How can I set up the workflow in EPDM to use a numeric revision scheme, then upon choice, start using an alpha numeric scheme?

I've done some digging around and ran across "copy tree", I think this might do what we are looking for.

I am both. Two people here have had the training and are suppose to show the other two of us but, they haven't shown us yet. They themselves are having trouble figuring things out; I have figured out several things on my own so far, but we are stuck with this one. Any help would be appreciated...

We are using EPDM to generate part numbers for new files...... But, what if we have a file which was not created in using EPDM and now want to put it into the vault with the next available number, can this be done?

Files - They want to put packing slips, vendor correspondences, etc. into the vault, not sure is all this needs to be in the vault? Folders- I was always told that the more complex you made your folder structure the more it slowed down the performance of the vault...?

We are in process of implementing EPDM, I have a few questions... 1. Put all files in the vault, even if they don't require revision control, so all job files are all in one place? Is this a good idea, or just vault what needs to be revision controled? 2. Folder structure; our current...

If you have a model with (1) motion study in it, can you delete it so the model will have no motion study?

Would you revision control your purchased parts by putting them into a vault folder? Or would you not and just put them into a folder designated as a "library"? Also, if you put your purchased parts into the vault, do you loose the drag/drop feature of "library" parts?

Thanks CorBlimeyLimey!! That's what I wanted... just didn't know what to search for.

This is how our company is currently creating models, the want to create models to mimic "real" life... 1. Create a "part file" of the purchased item(s) (raw material). 2. Then insert the parts into an "assembly file" and create a weldment "sub-assembly". 3. Insert the weldment "sub-assembly"...

That's what I'm hoping for. We have the same issues, everyone does things differently. I have already gotten approval for it. Do you have any tips for how to get started, how to keep it organized?

I want to start a SolidWorks User Group at work. Does anyone have any tips/suggestions on how to organize such a thing?

good news! we are moving forward with option #2 (2) Leave the existing files in the existing windows environment and treat them as an archival of old projects. As needed, pull a file for revision or "save as", clean up any issues to the new standards, then check the new projects into the...

Thanks for all the help!!! This is what I have come up with and have sent to management, wait and see I guess... These are my concerns if we move forward with the proposed method of making the files "virtual" in order to check them into PDM Workgroup. The obvious fact of why not to make a...

Gurjjeet - they want someone to write a macro to change the .sldprt files to virtual rather than doing it manually.

I've tried to tell them that. Garbage in garbage out, right? It's a matter of, the people making the decisions don't use the programs. I need concrete reasons to convince them to not do this... they are not listening to "it's not how the program is intended to work". I was hoping someone could...
