sans PDMWorks - copy project?
(OP)
I don't use PDMWorks. I occasionally need to copy an entire project (all parts/assemblies/drawings in a folder) to begin a new design. I know that you can use SW Explorer to copy everything except the drawings; I also know the 'trick' of temporarily renaming the original folder to break the old references. My question is: has anybody written a macro or add-in to automate the process--something that automatically fixes the references? Let me know if so. Thanks,
Brian

Maybe someone has written one and I would love to see it myself.

a) pick source and destination directories
b) copy all SolidWorks files (including drawings) from source to destination, including all files in sub folders
c) replace references in the destination directory to match the current (new) location
Is that right? Just trying to get an idea. I could write something like that pretty quickly based on some other stuff I've done.

I bet you'd have a lot of interest in such a program--surely there are many others who have a similar need.
Thanks for the reply,

This could be just the right time to start using PDM Works. Do you have SolidWorks Pro? We have saved so much time (and time is money) using this easy to use software it is unimaginable.
