Hi everyone,
For those of you still working in Pro/ENGINEER 2001 outside INTRALINK, I just want to catch your attention with a bug I just discovered. Imagine the following scenario:
You are working on a part/assembly. One of your coleague asks you to make a copy of your part/assy in his/her folder (which is not the same with the folder from part were loaded in memory). The easiest way is to back-up the part (especially for an assembly).
Then you change some dimensions on the part and save it. Erase the Pro/E memory (or exit and load it back) and load your part. Surprise! Your last changes were not saved! Why? Because of the back-up you made. All the saves of your part were stored on the back-up folder of your coleague. Please check the folder in windows. You can recover the part from this folder if he/she didn't delete it.
If you do the same thing with an assembly all parts will be saved from now one in this new folder.
Please add/change the following config.pro option DISPLAY_FULL_OBJECT_PATH to YES to see from which folder the object is loaded and where it will be saved.
You know what to do to avoid this: erase memory and display, load back assy/part and continue working OR do not use back-up at all.
In my opinion this may not happen. Backup a file unde a different folder may not alter the saving folders. Unfortunately it does.
I didn't experiment this with Wildfire, but those of you working with it please do it and let me and othe users know if this happens also.
-Hora.
