CHeck out related drawings for all parts/sub-asslys

CHeck out related drawings for all parts/sub-asslys

CHeck out related drawings for all parts/sub-asslys

(OP)
In workgroup PDM, I need to checkout a assembly file.

While doing this, I can also checkout all the sub-assemblies, parts.

But not the drawings for those sub-assly & parts.

How can I do this?

BluTurtle,
The setting to do this is set within the SolidWorks explorer options dialog. I believe under Command Defaults

But I see that from an SW explorer, I can't check-out a file.

BT,
You should be able to open any file you can see in SolidWorks PDMWorkgroup.
From within SolidWorks click Tools, SolidWorks Explorer...

Sorry to be picky. My steps : SW -> Tools -> SW-explorer.

In Explorer -> My_Vault -> PRoject. Here I choose my reqd assy file, right click and open. This brings up the same kind of open/checkout dialog.

But, I still cant see a way to display & select all the related children drawings.

I am looking for a option like its there in Pack & Go tool.
