I am in the process of creating a test vault to use to get everyone to buy in to making the switch to PDMWorks. I have run into a problem and wanted to get some suggestions and feedback.
I mentioned in a previous post that our network is extremely slow so I will be putting everything, even vendor OEM parts into the vault. Many of these have been downloaded off of various websites by everyone here. The problem I am running into is often the files come in as an assembly with a vendor part number, which is not a problem, but the parts inside the assembly have generic file names. The files may be named, for example, part1, part2, part3, etc. I always made it a habit to rename all the parts based on the assembly number so everything was easy to identify. However I'm not the only person who has been downloading parts.
My original thought was to use SW Explorer to rename the parts, but that won't work because they have to be in the vault first.
Anyone every have to deal with this and what did you do?
