Question about assemblies and file folders
Question about assemblies and file folders
(OP)
I'm self taught in Catia, so I beg pardon if I'm asking a bit trivial question... Is there any way of having Catia use 'relative paths' when making an assembly with components placed in sub-folders, and how to do it? E.g. I can have an assembly in one folder and everything works fine if I rename or move files to another folder, but when I insert or create components in a subfolder (to keep things tidy &c), Catia stores full path to those files, and then renaming the original folder or moving the whole assembly to another folder causes problems... I'd find it very useful if I could make Catia use 'relative path', like subfolder of assembly folder named 'this-or-that', so that when I move it the whole thing would work as in original folder.
Any help would be much appreciated. TIA

move Relative Folder to the top
then Folder of the link
then Folder of the pointing document
Shut off locations you may not be using as this will speed up file load if Catia is searching for a document.

RE: Question about assemblies and file folders
Sorry for opening this discussion again this late but I have moved all my Catia projects from my old NAS (network attached storage) to a new location on a storage server in my network.
So for example, the old path was like
CODE -->
and the new path is
CODE -->
You can see that everything remained the same except for the \\Cubestation being replaced with \\nas\data\xxx
The error I'm getting is (as you can see in the picture below):
Type: Error
Description: Problem reading document. Load operation failed
I tried following the steps above but it didn't solve my issue.
If anyone could advise something, I would be forever grateful !
Thanks.

Is it the only one file which gives you error ? Maybe during transfer process was corrupted, you may need a CATDUAV5 to run on it (maybe it will help).

RE: Question about assemblies and file folders
From the Desk window you can right click on the parts with location errors and select "Load" and browse to the new file location of the parts?
RE: Question about assemblies and file folders
ladless, you doc search path should find it's way. It appears you moved the directory structure from 1 area to another. On a side note, if you are not using Smarteam and Enovia VPM then I would suggest deactivating them in the search path.
In a windows explorer does this
\\nas\data\xxx\1-Proiecte\20120004 - yyy Wings\01-Documente primite de la Client\BE 203-12_BPM structure+emplanture_BPF aboutissants_2012_02_15\BT_12_0208-BPF-ENS-PLAQUEUR-PANNEAU-BATI-VOILURE 010\
bring you to the file?

I forgot to mention, for what it matters, that I am using Active Directory in my network... and that the Catia user is a member of AD... Has permissions to that location though...
Thanks and sorry for the late reply.

I mentioned that on the server, the users have full permissions on the folders.
