We have come across a problem where I work. We have the PDMvault setup to only allow one file name for a part. Such that ifyou have a vendor part, and you import it with default names likepart1, part2, ect, the next time you import a vendor part with thesame default names, it will fail. We do this to prevent us fromrecreating out own files, but this system doesn't seem to lenditself well to vendor parts. I'm looking for a solution to preventus from recreating our parts, while allowing us to use vendorprovided parts.
I think what we are looking for is, the ability to save asolidworks assembly as a single file with no external references topart files. We want the solidworks format so we can drag stuffaround and check for interferences and such, but we want a singlefile so we can give unique vendor parts names, with out having torename several lower sub asm/parts.
Any help with be appreciated.
