easiest way to find out which assemblies a model is used?
(OP)
Cant believe Ive never figured this out. Is there not a "where used" type of tool for a model that will tell you everywhere that model is used?

We are a small company and I am implementing a revision system. We have only been using Sworks the past few years, so we do not have hundreds of assemblies yet. I have been using our bom software to do the where used, then change the drawing and model. If I know that the changes will work in all assemblies, of course.
So, does everyone else keep the same drawing and model file name so you dont have to go thru and update all of your assemblies, or do you save it as a different name and update the assemblies?
I guess as long as all of the changes are noted on the ECN form, then you could use the same filename and would have to open the drawing to find out what the revision is? Fun stuff.

Although one can search whereused info with SW Explorer, it is inefficient. With a PDM system, you can do instantaneous searches.
