model will not check in with duplicate part names
model will not check in with duplicate part names
(OP)
hello - i had a model last week that would not check into the vault - i tried several times to check it in but it refused - someone in our group told me that they were able to check the model in - i asked why & they told me that i could not check the model in because there were other files in the vault that contained the same names as were present in my model - i was told that in the future i was to use specific names or numbers in my model & that would solve the problem - i have never heard of this but this person has pdm works training - any info or help would be greatly appreciated - thank you






RE: model will not check in with duplicate part names
If you plan to use PDM/PLM, then you must come up with a solution to have unique names... just naming a file block1, block2 is not going to be sufficient.

It was 'always' been that way. Ever try to copy any file into another folder with a file of the same name?

Im not sure if PDM Workgroup has the same feature, but we found it to be very helpful compaired to all the manually filled out databases we where working with before setting up EPDM where I work.
