I've have Enterprise PDM up and running and seeking advice onwhich if any warnings can be routinely ignored. The question onlyapplies to those pop up warnings including the "Don't ask me again"toggle.
The question is not based on lack of respect for the consequencesof ignoring something important.
In our previous CAD system we learned (over time) certain warningsalways had to be addressed, some eventually and others could beroutinely ignored. Also, the display of warnings could not bealtered by the end user. Warnings could still be ignored by the enduser but he or she couldn't claim ignorance if something really badhappened as a result of their failure to react to a specificwarning.
Our SolidWorks users are becoming aware they now have the abilityto permanently ignore warnings. The concern is they are doing thiswhen they are annoyed by a warning they feel is inappropriate.
For instance "you have modified this item and it should checkedout". Many times, from their perspective, they haven't modified "adarn thing" so their hitting the "don't ask me again" toggle. I'mthinking this could be bad down the road.
I'm aware there are probably schemes I could employ to reset thewarnings. I'd prefer education over forced compliance.
Any practical experience would be appreciated. Oh we're runningboth SolidWorks and Enterprise PDM at release 2008, SP 3.1 and 0respectively.
Thanks in advance,
