Renaming in PDM Works
Renaming in PDM Works
(OP)
Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing a renaimng error in PDM Works. For some reason I get a failed to rename document error when trying to rename parts/assemblies in PDM Works. It will however let me rename Drawings and .PDF's. I assume this is because the drawing/PDF does not have any references. I claim ownership on the assemblies and their children and still get the same error. I am also the PDM Vault Admin and I have the checkmark checked to allow user's to rename documents. Anyone know what's up?

sorry, I was reading too fast.
I don't know why it is not renaming. As you know...The only reasons I can think of is if you are not the owner, you are using symbols i.e /~, or there is a bug.
Also, is it possible they were set as read only and can not be renamed?

RE: Renaming in PDM Works
When you rename a document in PDMWorks, PDMWorks goes through and modifies all of the files (assemblies, drawings or parts) which reference that file. This allows the referencing files to have the new name for the file that you are renaming.
If any of the referencing files (not the file you are trying to rename) are owned by someone else (maybe even someone at all) PDMWorks refuses to modify the reference, because the change would get overwritten when whoever owns them, checks the file back in.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Also, if one of the files that references the document is in a project you don't have access to it may not let you rename it.
