Hi,
I work for a small company with a very small engineering department with two engineers using Solidworks 2010. Often, we need to make adjustments/improvements to an existing design while keeping all our data to manufacture our original design as well. To do so, we usually have to make a copy of the folder containing all parts, assemblies and drawings and make changes as needed. The problem is that we end up with duplicate part numbers we have to change manually, which can be quite time consuming.
Do any of you have a better method for dealing with this problem? I have looked into SW PDM somewhat but I don't want to go through all the setup if I don't know it will work for me.
Thanks for your help.
