DB Works question (should be simple)
DB Works question (should be simple)
(OP)
I have moved a SW drawing from one directory to another. Now when I try to open the drawing, the preview window in DBWorks states that the file does not exist. This is correct, it no longer exists (in that location). How do I edit the path to the new location? I thought this would be a simple task. Maybe there is an "Update Path" button that I do not see.
Thanks,
Drake

SolidWorks & DBWorks would not know that you have moved/renamed a file if you didn't use them to move it & update the references.

DBWorks allows you to rename a document and/or to move it to another directory or disk while keeping all the existing relations

Do not use Win Explorer OR SolidWorks Explorer.
For users who are not DBWorks admins, "open for updating" should be disabled.

RE: DB Works question (should be simple)
If you do, administrators should have Admin tools installed with DBWorks (but not regular users). One of these tools is DBWarm.exe which is the Access Rights Manager. This allows the admin to assign users to groups and decide what rights each group has.
Most of our users are in a group called Designer and this group is denied the right for "Open for updating"
