save files in two different folders

[marcofa]

I have a question maybe for you obvious:
I have a catpart file that I put on the table the catdrawing
except the catpart in the folder a
except catdrawing in folder b
now save the same catpart file in the c folder
if now I change the file of the folder to change also that of the c folder?? And vice versa?
What happens to catdrawing in folder b? to which file in which folder remains connected? Maybe both of you?
Thank you.

Hello, Marco.

These experiments only bring trouble, and file management is quite complex, to explain it all in a post.

if you change the file of the folder to, that in the c does not change (and vice versa)

catdrawing is connected to the catpart that generated it.

it is preferable to hold catpart and catdrawing in the same folder.

It is advisable to use rescue management that allows you to see which files you are using and their location in folders.

if a catdrawing loses the links you can reassign, but if the files are present in multiple copies, different and modified folders, if you need to know which one is good.

Thank you.
then how is it advisable to operate when you have a file that is used in multiple projects and for each project you want to have in a folder all the necessary files including those coming from the other project?

but what use does it have to work like this? ?
Why do you need to have files in 1 folder? ?

 

[mcbramby]

you could only put the "new" files in a specific folder, but all the others leave them where they are............. .

with catia, I think you can only do using dedicated software (plm).
maybe you could do with file synchronization software, where the program recognizes the modified file and syncs others, but I never did.

for me common files are those of a library that never change (type screws, dice, washers or details built but encoded etc.) and then I take them from there (read-only file and with a recognizable prefix).

if it is a detail I want to reuse in a new project but that could change, then I cover it and renounce it.
I can't risk that a file used in multiple projects can be modified by me or another designer going into production in different ways: (e.g.) if you add or remove a hole, increase thickness etc., the piece no longer mounts on all other projects!

If you are alone, put them all in a folder, so much is the catproduct that takes care of them where I am, but be careful that memory makes bad jokes, in a few years you could open a project and say: but what the hell did I do?

plm does what you would do by hand....... takes the file and uses it where you need it, but the file is always the same.
If I have a piece done in a certain way and I need the same piece is that........ if I have to change the rhino with its possible product and drawing .
I personally create a father folder every year and put the jobs of the year , but if a product recalls a file of 2005 .... the file is and remains in folder 2005 ..................... as it used to say, there's the minute......
I assume that the more you do the simple things and the more everything works, if you start to create strange turns, as well as automatism and links in part, sooner or later the "places"...
But as I said above you could have your reasons x want to make the unique folder , x that I asked why x understand if it could be an actual need or not .......... x example x me is simpler x that the designs are ours and the workshop that generates the pieces is ours not having exchanges with others I have no problems with different configurations or different methods of setting the files........... but maybe you could have a project delivery needs to a client............ .

You may, in addition to the one indicated by gianni55 and mcbramby, change the writing rights on the folders and files you need to use in other areas, limiting it to certain users. in this way avoid overwriting/modifying a file that is used in 5 projects.
This obviously does not apply if you are alone and you always work as administrator.

Why don't you try it directly?

......... but maybe you could have a project delivery needs to a client............ .

That's the case.

 

[mcbramby]

But if it's just the delivery to a customer, so I work done, you can use "Send to..." , select what you need to group and put it in a folder and give it to the customer, but to you everything remains as if you didn't do anything............. practically create a copy of everything in one folder.
I didn't use it much as a command but if you try something small you see if it can be okay............... .

 

[gianni55]

That's the case.

in the case of delivery to the customer, if (the customer) is organized, dictates the rules.

in other cases I made a "invite to:" of every single project, without drawing but with pdf, I compressed it by entering the delivery date and password, each compressed file sent was kept by me as a testimony of how much delivered.
in case of change I manage all phases (other than if the customer is not organized, nothing good can come if he manages them).
