Cache mode

Cache mode

Cache mode

(OP)
I'm working with a large asm on unix in cache mode, parts are used on two different programs I have saved my complete asm and parts in one local dir. When I move to a PC and open my asm. things are pulling from dif. directory and even some parts are missing. On unix everything is fine.

RE: Cache mode

check your search orders. sounds like they are different between Unix and Windows computers, which would explain the different results

RE: Cache mode

(OP)
Thanks,search options the same unix and PC

RE: Cache mode

Think you need to have different search option because you consoliated the data into one folder and moved it to a PC. Just pointed directory should be enough, nothing else.

RE: Cache mode

How did you save your assembly in that single directory?  Typically, you want to use either "Send To Folder" or DMU "Save As Frozen".  

Also, if there are any CATDrawings, make sure they are loaded along with the assembly, save the assembly and parts, then save the CATDrawings.

Thanks....for the returns unfortunately the only band-aid at this time is pointed docs. I put all data in other folders turned all others off and this worked (search order) I will keep trying, you should not have to go this route but it did work. Thanks for the help.

RE: Cache mode

This is why you shouldn't move parts with the explorer or other file managers. You should use like catiajim suggests "send to folder" or maybe save as and the use propagate to directory.
