WARNING: BUG (not critical) in Pro/ENGINEER 2001

WARNING: BUG (not critical) in Pro/ENGINEER 2001

(OP)
Hi everyone,

For those of you still working in Pro/ENGINEER 2001 outside INTRALINK, I just want to catch your attention with a bug I just discovered. Imagine the following scenario:

You are working on a part/assembly. One of your coleague  asks you to make a copy of your part/assy in his/her folder (which is not the same with the folder from part were loaded in memory). The easiest way is to back-up the part (especially for an assembly).

Then you change some dimensions on the part and save it. Erase the Pro/E memory (or exit and load it back) and load your part. Surprise! Your last changes were not saved! Why? Because of the back-up you made. All the saves of your part were stored on the back-up folder of your coleague. Please check the folder in windows. You can recover the part from this folder if he/she didn't delete it.

If you do the same thing with an assembly all parts will be saved from now one in this new folder.

Please add/change the following config.pro option DISPLAY_FULL_OBJECT_PATH to YES to see from which folder the object is loaded and where it will be saved.

You know what to do to avoid this: erase memory and display, load back assy/part and continue working OR do not use back-up at all.

In my opinion this may not happen. Backup a file unde a different folder may not alter the saving folders. Unfortunately it does.

I didn't experiment this with Wildfire, but those of you working with it please do it and let me and othe users know if this happens also.

-Hora.

Also, doing a back-up renames all files to rev level 1.

So your file mypart.prt.23 becomes mypart.prt.1 in the back up folder.
