Creating an Index of Referenced Files
Creating an Index of Referenced Files
(OP)
Hi,
I just started a job with a manufacturing company, and it is the first time that I've worked in a multi-user Solidworks environment. The other day I wanted to find an assembly(ies) that reference part X. My co worker directed me to SW Explorer, and after a very long wait, I had my answer. My question is whether there is a quicker way to do this.. Perhaps Explorer could create an index that I could access through Excel or the like? Ideas?

Does PDM speed up the Search process?
RE: Creating an Index of Referenced Files
Of course, I'm sure PDM brings its own set of headaches. And it only knows files that have been checked in.

Anyhow, thanks for the responses.. CorBlimeyLimey: I'll check out the SW search link at work tomorrow, but is your indexing link a mistake? It brings up a picture of the hide/show lines button.

I would not go as far as to say that this feature is what PDM is for, but a bit of the data that it has to track to do what it is for.
