project management, some doubts...

[leggera]

Good morning.

It is a sad and retrite topic, but I have some doubts about project management.
First of all during the course I was configured and said that I had to manage all my works under a single project (named.ipj) and then create in the workbook the folders where to save my works, but not create other projects .ipj
I don't use vault.

Now that I have a bit of work, it seems to me that management is exhausting and dangerous.

as a self-taught I created a project for every job I had to do and as a result it was enough for me to select the project with the code and the program always aimed at the work I was doing.

But how do you do that?
Do you use a single project?

thanks to those who will disappoint me on this merit.

we who work on our products and not to commit have a single project.
who works as a contractor usually has a project for each customer, in this way you can have, for example, the customised tables for that customer and point to those templates to realize them.

try to better explain what kind of work you do, what needs you have etc.
some useful suggestions will surely come to you.

a question, but who did the course?

 

[leggera]

I was a little generic.
we only work on our products with our carts.
Don't tell me who did the course, you never know who reads

 

[TECNOMODEL]

then I would say unique project where you have your templates, bookcases, date design etc.

then the archive strutturi as you want according to your needs.

If I can give you advice, since it is included in the license, let me install the vault.
egregiamente carries out his work and "save" you from various errors and cases that can happen using windows to manage the archive.

I will try to see the vault, but now before embarking on a new sw to learn I would like to see to solve otherwise.

for example at times it happens to make an object with 10 parts with 3 different solutions that differ only of 2 parts of the 10.
I can not make 3 folders with hypotheses 1, hypotheses 2, hypotheses 3 because then I find myself with doubled folders and with hypotheses 2 and 3 that point me to the parts of the hypotheses folder 1.
create new projects not because it is best to keep 1 project only.

how do you do without vault and similar projects with shared parts?

how do you do without vault and similar projects with shared parts?

There is only the memory that saves you, so it is better to learn how to use the vault.
I do not use it, I never have time to devote to it, and sometimes I happen to lose something, in which case I go fishing in backups.

 

[TECNOMODEL]

to learn how to use the vault really takes little time, basically it is an archive with some useful functions.
For example, you can rename files, move them to folder and vault keeps all links.

returning to your specific case I would do a single set with 3 different location representations where I go to suppress/activate different details.
When I chose the final version, I eliminate what I don't need, and I have the axieme fixed.
or in the folder where you do the study save 3 distinct assemblies and their related parts, then to defined project delete what you do not need and you have the clean folder.
This is true if we are talking about a study in which various solutions are evaluated.
if instead we talk about more similar projects that differ only for some components much depends on how you structured your archive.
we, for example, have various folders divided by type. various assemblies, details, commercial etc.
In your case I would save the assemblies in their folder and point to the parts in their folders.
I repeat, everything depends on how you have or want to structure the archive according to your habits, needs, type of work etc.

Hi.
we also work on our products and use a single project, with under all the various folders
We don't use the vault, we say I don't use it... so much design only I:-(
the only real problem is the slowness of the network

 

[TECNOMODEL]

I am also the only one to draw, since I entered the vault the work has quickly and simplified.
in addition to having greater control over any errors.

 

[bradipo666]

you can always create more assemblies in one project so you can reuse the parts without creating the doubles.
example:

folder1 contains:
hypothesis1.iam
-tizio.ipt
-Hello.
-sempronio.ipt

folder2 contains:
guess 2.iam
-Hello.
-pinco.ipt
-pallino.ipt
-tizio.ipt
