Batch import and rename
Batch import and rename
(OP)
Guys,
I have been given 512 files (assy, parts, & drawings) and want to import them all into PDMLink, and at the same time attach a project prefix to each filename to ensure no duplication in the database.
Is there a way of importing these as a batch and simultaneously renaming them?
Thanks
Dave

RE: Batch import and rename
If you do the import first, you may have conflicts.
If you know that existing files in PDMLink are identical to some that you want to import AND use the existing files, then do the import and rename.

Turns out with family table instances i have ended up with over 3000 files to rename, i had one go at it and it took an hour before it failed' as some of The filenames exceed 31 characters. now i have to hunt down the long filenamex and rename these ones individually.
Nothing is ever easy is it?
