Checking in assemblies in PDM Works
Checking in assemblies in PDM Works
(OP)
Hi. This may seem like a very simple question but I can't find the answer to it anywhere. Lets say I have an assembly with 10 parts in it. I check it out of the vault and make some changes that alter 4 parts. Now I select the assembly and try to check it back in. I would have thought that it was possible now to have PDM Works identify the 4 files that were change and tick the boxes beside them that means they get checked in too. For me it seems i have to manually check the box beside the filename. Secondly, in the file explorer within solidwork some of the 6 files that I did not change have a green upwards arrow beside them indicating that they are newer than what is in the vault even though I did not make any changes to them. Why is this anyone?
What I would like to do is to be able to select the modified assembly in the file explorer, right click and check in this document. I would have thought that a program like this would then allow for all 'altered' parts drawings referened to this assembly to be quickly, automatically check in to. Is this not the case?
Thanks in advance,

This seems to be a SolidWorks problem (not PDM) - we have only recently installed PDM but previously we noticed that when we opened an assembly, an asterix (*) appeared next to the file name, indicating it needed a change - PDM just highlights it more!
