archive drawings

[turbocris]

Good morning.
I've been following this forum for a long time; I've been inscribed only today because I have a problem.
I have been working in a metalmechanical company and have been available solidworks for 5 years.
I was asked to set up a archive drawings with the aim of creating a sort of "mediate catalog" that allows our customers to place order from the site.
our company has many products and often also customized for customer, consequently a large amount of drawings to be arranged in folders. the director of the technical office wants preserve all files even after possible revisions and for all I mean parts, assemblies and drawing.
Of course all this work will have to do without the help of pdm software, which would solve all my problems. :finger:
for the organization of the folders I will "divert" as best I can, but I will need a parallel program (of excel or access...) to record all the old and updated versions of parts, assemblies and drawing and especially to easily trace back to the version that will be asked me finding all the links (to say it seems easy but there will be to have fun)
in brief, what can you advise me on how to organize and codify drawings and arrange a table on a parallel program that allows me to organize a pdm type job but managed manually?

I know it is crazy and I should push to get the pdm... already done!! I am desperate! !

Thank you very much

hi, I had found as an application on joomla on mysql arch, the possibility to create a database for coding.

Anyway the road and the pdm, I can recommend you ready. not an exaggeration, and already ready to use.

greetings and good holidays

Hi.

it is not difficult or crazy, it is practically impossible to keep updated. Basically, after a short time, you will find yourself unnecessarily tracking changes from the anagraphic and database viewpoint, without ever getting to the bottom.
When you happen a change that heavily changes the hierarchy of a set you have to remember as you update the distinct. if you review a component you have to find with the tool you set up where that component is used and update the revision index.
In my opinion, all axiemi "to rise" will have to increase as they contain a modified component and therefore the representation is different.
do not mention if the parts are generated in topdown...in this case the changes are reflected on the details without you notice if you do not cross the data of masses and inertias and go compare them every time.
Believe me, if the archive is vast there is no intelligent system enough to drown between the files in no time.
If your owners don't understand this concept...... as much wishes for the future, you really need it.

x flfnHi.
of mysql there are many versions. ..what is best suited to filing solid drawings?
I was also looking for ready ("ready works" if not mistaken), but could I know from what site you download it?

x re_solidworksre_solidworks says "in my opinion all axiemes "to rise" will have to increase by revision index as they contain a modified component and therefore representation is different. "
I thought of saving the revised assemblies as parts so as to keep in the tree a list of the parts that compose it and, according to the date of rescue, be able to trace back to the previous versions and have all the necessary data to recreate, if required, the assist at any time of his life.
In fact it is very complicated and the problem is that every new file that creates will inevitably lead me to greater casino. . .
we hope they change their mind!!

Hello and thank you

Hello and thank you

pdm suggested by flfn i calls ready2works and is made by readysolutions. to download it you have to contact them, it is not a freeware product.
for these needs is also great pdmworks enterprise, but it is always about paid products that your company would not want to buy.

for the saved assemblies in part are not of accreditation, how will you do with the tables? how will you know how many asses you used a pin we say "standard" that you will go to revision?

x flfn... a question arises to me:
solidworks now uses enterprise as affiliated pdm (if I don't understand bad), if I go to use read works I will certainly have about the same result, but will it be compatible with the new editions of solidworks?

thanks to all

This is why I look for a help program that allows me to record, even if manually, all revisions...a sort of historical register that, at the request, I indicate the parts that make up the axieme and the version.
enterprise has already made its proposal (about 12000 € for our needs) but it is too expensive, if ready2works is + econimic maybe I can convince the capoccia!! :wink:
...even the crazy would do such a job by hand, but I must seek the right compromise x please the leaders (so without making them spend too much because they do not realize the advantages, even economic, that would lead the advent of the pdm) and not to go mad (and above all to reduce the risk of errors that manually climbs dizzying).

if you know programs that work well and do to my case say it too!!

Thanks again:bekle:

time fa avevo provato questo opensource:
http://www.omniasolutions.eu/omnias...=com_content&view=article&id=30&itemid=25〈=itat the time it was quite bugged, and I don't know what improvements it had in the meantime.

Otherwise, for a period I had contacts with a Finnish independent developer for a certain macro, which among other things also makes a specific pdm for solidworks. he had seemed like a very serious person, and looking at the demo on the site looks like a good product, surely it will cost much less than they asked you for pdmworks enterprise:
http://www.spn-technologies.fi/spn-pdm_en.htmlhowever consider that the license of a pdm client generally costs on the 1000-2000 euros (normally the server is free), the rest is due to the configuration for your business reality.
