Yes (CorBlimeyLimey), it is only the logo missing. Well actually there is an outlined box for the logo but the graphics are not there. I copied and pasted the logo from Microsoft Paint. The logo shows up in the preview but is missing once you select the format to load. And when I created the...
Our company usually only uses B and D size formats. Now we've decided that it would be useful to have C size as well. So I went into the \Program files\Solidworks\data to retrieve a generic C format. I made changes to have it link perameters that are set up in our parts properties. I also...
I checked a drawing in to PDM for the first time. I have the revision scheme set up as: 00.0 for primary and seconday and 00 for tertiary. Once the part/drawing are released it will read A.0 00, but for right now reads 00.0 00. The tertiary is there only as a ticker for check-ins. I made...
That's the funny part. The setting for read-only if you are not the user is not checked. This is on the vault settings tab. Is it somewhere else that I'm not aware of?
In my last job, I recall being able to check-out from PDM parts/drawings without taking ownership. It did not make the files become read-only. I was able to do "saves" locally without asking the owner to release it. It was only at the time that I checked it back-in that I would have to ask...
I just called the company that sold us our SW and PDM. They just told me that we shouldn't have any problems running SW'05 & PDM'06. According to the person I spoke with, there are no documented problems. If we were trying to run SW-06 with PDM'05, that would be a problem. Do you know of any...
Bradley,
I already blew the assembly out of the vault. It's only a small assembly. And I'll try a fresh start in the morning. And see if SoilentG's suggesstion helps. (I just realized his handle. I thought it was SilentG and just caught that it's like the 70's movie. How funny.) We are...
Bradley,
No, actually I don't mind the questions at all. And I appreciate the help. If I don't answer back it is because I've either stepped away from my desk, or called it quits for the day. We have a seperate server for the vault but I am told that we will be moving our Solidworks data...
Oh, thank you. One of my many tasks with setting this up is figuring out how to set up everyone's working directory. Unfortunately SolidWorks was up an running a year ago without the PDMWorks implemented. Everyone has been saving all of their work all over different folders in the shared...
My what? I tried calling the compamy we purchased SolidWorks and PDM from (I won't mention any names) but they have not been very helpful at all since we didn't purchase the service contract. I call tech support to ask questions and they say, "You got the service contract quote, didn't you?"...
Actually, I only log-in as me for user and never admin. Admin is only when I'm setting up the vault. That's why it's all such a mystery. Right now I am even the only user. I've listed the other users in the vault, but no one else has logged onto PDM yet. I want to make sure I have everything...
