nomi files

[Beth]

Hello, everyone.

often and willingly I find myself in the situation of having to change a set without opening the actual table, modify it (including the names of the parties) and when I open the table the bitter surprise of failure because there are not the parts .
solutions to my knowledge:
create new parts with the old names of the missing parts and recreate the designs, or rename the new parts with the names of the old open the drawings and rename the new names.

both systems are not the maximum of life, especially the parts are so many.

Is there any better method for you?

thanks in advance

If you want to duplicate a file with its table you must have in session both and then open the part and save copy


Hi.

... and when I open the table the bitter surprise of failure because the parts are not found...

if you do not open the harvests at the table is inevitable, because if they are closed they do not update themselves.

the top of the speed, is to have a support pdm, but also them, the tables should be recalled if the cad manager did not preview/turn the automatic loading of the tables to the duplication.

I understand, so I have to get used to always opening the drawing when I see a set.

Thank you very much

It would be enough for the design to be in the work directory, I create 3 (I don't know create 2), as well as the option to copy all the drawings of the components you decide to save with a new name in the set you are duplicating.

According to you there is a reason why if I save a copy of a set
assigning new name to what I have to rename
reuse what I need to reuse
with check "copy drawings associated"

Are drawings not actually copied?

 

[320i S]

you have to put this option in the config:

rename_drawings_with_object both

If I don't remember badly, that pops up in the copy menu, it takes if you have windchill associated.

https://www.cad3d.it/forum1/threads/32703-salva-una-copiaI found here the solution to my problem

 

[Beth]

rather:

with the save copy of together it is possible to isolate the composts to which to assign new name from those to reuse outside the work directory, often and willingly I have doubts of memory and I have to exit the command to verify the path having full books .

without a pdm is a slightly more slender operation, you need to know exactly what files should be saved exnovo or not, the problem is not so much on the part (there is the replacement for copy, which you can use it whenever you want), but the subassienas that you replace for copy, it does not work.

with windchill the problem does not arise, you can replace by copying through windchill mask, anything, almost flying.

I prefer rename in session.

 

[320i S]

Here, the rename in session, I can't find (if there is) the option in the config, because when save a file renamed in session, you save in the work directory, and not in the directory from where the original file was taken.

I don't know if you can choose the directory, I never deepened the thing. also because I store drawings in organized folders not machine for machine, but according to the main subaxis that make up the project, so I'm okay like this.

 

[320i S]

e there is a buzz for me because I go of single projects and I happen to be able to copy components already ready to 50% from other projects and if I do the rename in session, they save in the directory from which the originals come.

In addition, they adopt this strategy. until a project is defined with some precision, we say... until I begin to distribute the documentation. Provisional code check, which are usually composed of the particular code from which I made the copy, plus a prefix that identifies the new project. In this way I understand the flight which are the new and old details and where they originated, if then I want to archive them differently, just do a search to explore resources and move them where I want.
