[KLA#27]

Hello everyone!! !

Can someone explain how the pack & go works? ?

thank you 1000!:finger:

Oh, my God, that's a little generic. . .
we say that it is necessary to send to a third the data necessary to open/modify a project

What's your problem? What is not clear?

You're right the question is a generic "baby" but I've never used it and the online guide seems "fumosa".

we have made a third-party design and sent the aid in step to the customer, but cannot manage it, then finds it heavy.... in short it raises a little trouble, and advised us to use the pack & go... but who knows it? ? ?

I would like to understand what we transmit to him using the pack & go...

Thank you.

Let's put it like this...
you have a project (ipj) with one or more assemblies
the use of the pack&go allows to create a new project containing the desired axieme (also not the upper one, can be a sub-assembly) and all the necessary components (even possibly even libraries and templates)

How do you do that?
simple.
by "explores resources" individuals iam (or rather, idw) wanted
click of dx and selections "pack&go"
indicate the destination folder (where all necessary files will be copied)
put in the options "maintain folder hierarchy" and "include linked files"
make sure that there is no check in the various "excluding... "
"Search now" awards
when you have finished searching, from the "start" and will create, in the folder indicated by you, all the files necessary to open the desired axieme, sorted according to your structure to folders

I have a problem with the pack & go: select the axieme, set the parameters, search now, in a few seconds find me all 3d, then I do again "try now" in connected files to find the tables, at this point there is a whole day! looking throughout the project file. I tried to select one folder at a time, but the time is cmq too.. .
Am I wrong? or is there a way to filter the files to search, such as the idw only connected, etc.? ?
Thank you all!

 

[braunfish]

to me idw simply does not consider them part of the project to hang and do not even find me

 

[Alby189]

you don't find them pkè you have to do a second time look:

look in the attached pictures, "first phase" click "look for now" at the top and find all 3d of the affected axieme.
then in "second phase" you pick up "search now" down and look for all the other files connected to the 3d previously found.
at this point, by clicking the second "try now", you start the search that lasts days.... is it normal? ?

Thank you all!

But isn't that you renamed some idw? and idw are in a folder under the same project or do you have a unique "project" for all your works?

 

[Alby189]

unique project!! in practice we have a unique project file for the whole server, the server is divided into sub folders containing each one type of detail (bladders, tubes, turned/cold, pre-assimated, finished products, etc...)
I tried to start searching for the linked files throughout the project but it was planting everything, then I gave as a search folder one (e.g. sheet) and took us a couple of hours, added, and returned the search on another folder. but this is unmanageable!
then I would need to export all idw of a single project to be able to carry out a mass export in pdf, dxf and step format of all the drawings of the same project.

It's the same problem we have in the company and I'm not telling you the anger I have for this. we have customizations with a unique database but this as it increases becomes a casino for both file and search.I have suggested several times that for each customer you should make a .ipj for each customer because if one needs the tables it is a casino with the pack & go. I wanted to know for those who have a pdm how it behaves with inventor in the sense if a single database or not and what acorgiments it has adopted to not weigh too much everything.

unique project!............ .

This is the limit of the project:
on one side makes your life easier at first, but it makes you impossible to search for tables, which seem to me do not have an ad hoc connection with the components to which they refer: inventor is just doing a search on .idw files with the same name as the source component file, in fact if you renounce a .idw, open the component and ask him to open the drawing, he no longer finds it.
At first I used the project too, then I had to give up:
a machine=a project

Thanks tarkus, but how can you manage a project for machinery? having a database of details in common among all... We have encoded hundreds of sheets, pipes, turned and milled I don't tell you... then for each frame we go fishing around particulars already in production, then mount everything in the finished product with a lot of bolts whose designs (it-it) reside inside the project. to manage a project for each machine should I duplicate the standard production details, unified bolts, etc., within each project or not?? It would become so unmanageable. :confused

No, it's not necessary to duplicate all the time:
meanwhile you can put all the common details (which if sure they won't be changed) in one or more folders-books to which you point each project. So the research of the pack&go will be restricted to the ongoing project and to the libraries that you have associated to him and not to all the ognibedience of your study... and then the big problem of the pack&go we have it with .idw files; I don't think you have

 

[davide75]

for that esistoni i pdm:finger::biggrin::mixed:

our problem is that the pdm refers to only database project!!! is our limit and for this reason I ask how you do with different projects to inteff yourself to single database. The only thing that came to mind is to use the inventor vault but I have no experience about it.

 

[Alby189]

for the pdm we are working on, they proposed to leave with base vault that could do to our case, then to pass after the pro.
Meanwhile, for now we continue the old way... :
