PDMWorks problem
PDMWorks problem
(OP)
We have a problem with PDMWorks. I created an assy dwg. I checked it in to the vault, everything is ok. Checked out a few times, did some changes, everything is ok. The problem is now another designer needs to do a change. He 'opened' it from the vault, it asked if he wants to over-ride his local copy, he clicked 'yes'. The changes that I previously had done are not there. They show up on his preview, but not the dwg or assy. After he closes and does not save it...I open it, over-ride my local copy and the changes are there! We tried logging in as the same account, but the same problem! No one seems to have an answer (We are working on seperate pc's, his Win 2000 NT, mine is Win XP PRof.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

RE: PDMWorks problem
Your collegue may have had an older version of the model on his local drive, and the drawing automatically pointed to that.
I could elaborate further if you need it, but this should get you on the right track.
Good luck!
RE: PDMWorks problem
Right click in the pdmworks vault view and select pdmworks options. The defaults can be changed there.
In the "open" dialog box, right click in the box with the files listing. select "newer" or "all" to get the latest version.
RE: PDMWorks problem
If parts of the model are being worked on by others, yes, you want the latest version. This is all situation specific though.
As for default settings, our system default is set to get the latest, not the "as-built". If your default setting is an annoyance, talk to your system admin or reset your personal settings.
