Migrate drawing files into EPDM

Migrate drawing files into EPDM

Migrate drawing files into EPDM

(OP)
I hired an outside resource to complete some fairly complex exploded view drawings for me. All of the part models and base assembly drawings were completed and saved to our EPDM vault. I did a pack-n-go on all of the models and sent them to the drafting house. Now that they're done with them, I need to put check them back into the vault. Any suggestions on what's the best way to do that? I seem to be running into problems with part to assembly associations.

Thanks - Dave

They need to pack and go the files and send back to you to keep the associations.

Of course moving the files around in the Vault is best done with 'Copy Tree.'
