gofindsam Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 We have 2 machines that are identical for the moment, we want to have a master folder for all the Parts, Assemblies and thier drw's, these will all be 0200-series numbers. We have 2 machine folders, lets call them SFS-01 and SFS-02. They contain all the Main assembly drw's, these will be 0300 and 0301-series respectively. When a part for machine 2 needs to be modified and becomes rev. B how do we keep rev. A in the vault for machine 1 to use? We don't want to have to give it a new drawing number, can PDM append the file name with a -A, -B etc.? or are we missing how to keep rev. A active?

stevsmith Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I know that with Autodesk inventor you can use i-parts to make two different configurations of a part whilst maintaining the part number. You can manually create an index number eg, 0301-1 and 0301-2 , etc. I would assume that the same kind of thing would be possible in Solidworks. Let me get back to you on this.

stevsmith Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi, I've had a look and can't find anything that would "split" the file like you are looking for. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
