Copying part,assy's & drawings

Hello Group.
I don't have PDM or similiar
Is there any good guides or references
on copying projects (Assemblies Subassemblies parts and drawings)
from one area (directory) to another.
I find this exercise very confusing. This is something I
must learn and understand fully. It seems Solidworks Explorer
doesn't handle drawings to well.
Thanks in Advance

Hi

Open your top level model

From the menu click File - Save As [ you'll gat a warning, but keep going ]

Choose the location:
Browse to the desired folder (create if necessary)

Click the References button [ a new dialog box opens and a list of all the
files referenced is presented ]

Select all of them [ or just the appropriate ones ]

Choose the location for them:
Click the Browse button and verrify the folder location as in the previous
step [ the References dialog box will display the current location and the
new location (split screen) ] of the referenced files

Click OK

Now you're back to the Save As dialog box
And click OK

That does it.
The entire project copied over as neat package into a single folder.


Cheers.

 

What about the SLDDRW 's? I recall you had to do them
diferently.

 

Frank,

Check out www.quadro-design.com.au we have a utility called 'X-Files' that
is designed to do exactly what you want to do.

Cheers

Hi Whit,

We have only recently set up our website and it doesn't have a link to the
demo download yet - I will get it sorted out. We sell X-files for $AUD
300 - if you are interested contact Rick via his email on the website as he
writes all our software and SolidWorks API.
