PDMWorks question

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Steve Reinisch, Sep 27, 2006.

  1. How are people managing files in PDMW when a file is in process?

    For example a part is being designed, drawings created, assemblies made and
    over a number of days\weeks the files are checked in checked out of the
    vault a number of times. At each point the rev level wants to increment or
    ,as we have, you have 'working copy' checked so you can keep it at A+ but
    when the drawings are finally released you want them to be at A, and you
    want the custom rev property to be at A as well, but of course you cannot
    back rev unless you check out all the drawings delete them from the vault
    change the rev property to A and check them all back in again. This seems
    kind of a kludge though.

    So again to make a long story short, how can I maintain a drawing Rev level
    at A through multiple check in check out cycles?

    we use a list (sequential option checked)
    primary; --, X1, X2, X3 ...
    secondary; -, A, B, C ...

    new docs go in at -- (depending on circumstance)
    oem docs go in at -

    In your case, you could use --+, X1+ or -+.
