PDMWorks & MRP System

PDMWorks & MRP System

(OP)
Hi, I'm trying to see if it's possible to link PDMWorks to my MRP system.  The MRP system allows me to link a file to each part in my bill of materials, and I'd like to link the SolidWorks drawing.  Is there any command I can use to directly open the latest rev of a part/drawing from PDMWorks by using an external program?  If this has been discussed, please point me to the appropriate thread, as I couldn't seem to find anything.  Thanks for the help.

RE: PDMWorks & MRP System

Jason,

     There is an option to keep a copy of the latest files.  We have been able to link from our ERP system to the latest drawing using this setup.  You can actually browse the vault find the latest folder under any project.  The downside is that we have to put all of our drawings in the same project so that the ERP system always accesses the same folder to view the latest drawings.
