Parts Location
(OP)
Hi,
I have a design folder containing assy, parts and drawings which has been supplied by a third party. I now need to move these files from this temporay folder to the correct directories on our server. My fear is that in transfering the files, assy links will be lost. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance

RE: Parts Location
Or, move the parts, then go into Tools/Options/File Locations and add the new folder location. Move it to the top of your list, and SW will look there and find the parts.

RE: Parts Location
Are the files all in the same directory? If they are, you should not have a problem moving them, as long as they are all moved to the same location. However, if the files are in different directories, MadMango's advice is on point.

I like CBL's recommendation on "Pack-and-Go".
RE: Parts Location
Do a save-as
In the save-as box select the references... button at the bottom
Select a part
At the top select browse
Browse to the location that you want that new file to be located.
Hope this helps

RE: Parts Location
I went down the route of tools/options/file locations, added some more folders to the list and it worked out fine.
