renames folders

[Matteo Cappelli dis.CAD]

Here's the problem:

I have realized in years (iv use since 2002) a series of fittings / groups correctly divided into folders/subfolders of the type:

c:\disegni\cliente\macchina1\gruppi
\ acquis
\lamiere
\torne
♪
\carpentry

opening the .iam reference file, inside the group folder, everything was ok, the found files and excellent opening speed
the files were correctly encoded, managed etc....
I want now, rename folders with machine names, banally from exploring windows resources, I renamed them (only folders, not files)
in:
c:\disegni\cliente\a1\aa1g
♪
♪
♪
♪
♪

where the first 3 letters are equal to the machine name (a1) and the fourth is the type of detail (group, purchase, sheet, return, welded, carpentry)

up to here no problem, opens everything, finds all files (which were already correctly encoded with unique name on the whole server)But... the opening of the group turns out to be very, very slowit seems that you continue to search on the whole server the location of the files in the previous folders (now non-existent because renamed) until, finding them in the new ones open them.

is it possible to redirect the file path? ?
my thought went to axitant design, but.. it is unthinkable to open hundreds of groups to redirect the folders of the files contained therein

suggestions?
Thank you!

I can tell you that you can think of a macro that from the main axieme scans all referencedcomponents and replaces the link with the new file path (from your previous posts I think you have a macro/vba cable). the path can be built automatically by scanning the path c:\disegni\cliente\aa1\aa1g...

Anyway, once opened and settled, is everything slow? it seems to me from similar experiences that once opened the axieme and found the file this replacement happens automatically: Maybe you just need a macro to open all the axioms in the folder and get them back.

Shoot there, eh...

ci provo... grazie!

 

[Catafratto]

Okay, let me know, if you need anything... (not that I am a specialist, take care!)

 

[Catafratto]

I have done a test for curiosity: I took a "glued" set, I created a folder scheme similar to yours and the reopening was very slow (research files as in your case); I did a save > yes all and closed, at reopening the speed was normal.

 

[Matteo Cappelli dis.CAD]

I usually do so too; if everything is the local, I have no problems, but with the net files even at the 2nd reopening you notice a remarkable slowdown

 

[Catafratto]

I have them on the network on mapped disk, if it can be useful.

 

[Catafratto]

Got any results?

I'm ashamed to say... But I haven't had a moment to look at us yet!
thanks for interest

hi to all, use inventor recently and I found myself today with the same problematic with a plant.
After renamed the plant and the subfolders I noticed the slowness but I'm not worried because it seemed reliable that it was looking for files in the working area (on the server).

However after about 45 minutes of loading (both I normally loaded in about 20 seconds) it stopped proceeding.
Then I forced the closing, I restarted inventor and I am loading the machines of the plant to one to overload it less...hand as I can open a machine, except everything and close...I hope that at the end of this procedure the total assembling does not weep and opens in an acceptable time.

Of course, finding a less expensive way to do it with design assistant would be much more decent

I confirm that it works and the axieme is loaded in the time it was loaded before... but it is such a long procedure (cause the slowness of inventor in finding the files) that you should have a computer-cavia to unclean for this reason having to change all the historian of a company:/

Do you know how project files work?
You know there's a program called a vault and you own it in your box and already do what you ask? :

Of course! only that I work in relatively small office and that, after having informed about how it should change the server structure and the working method with the vault, decided to give up. ..there was also not recommended with a certain consocent force.

historically I used proes and it was enough to put inside the folder with the assembling a .txt with the folders where it would have to go to look for the files in case he hadn't found them in the workbook. cocreate instead in this is very simple because everything (but all) is in one file, but it is not parametric, so it does not text. we say that requesting a management to rename a folder, at concept seems excessive

I am alone in the office, the vault was introduced after my arrival two years ago.
I guarantee that it is a great tool, now sincerely I would have a lot of trouble working without.

Sorry, who are these acquaintances? Friends? people who "have always been like this"?, dealers who can't install vault? (examples stupid, I know)
try to rename a file because you wrong to type the code and think if this file is in 10 axiemi: open all the asses and reassociate it? the vault automatically reassociates it. That's why I would use it. .

Unfortunately I only speak for what they told me... not having ever tried it I can't say anything for sure.
I will try to evaluate it with whom I have to
