First off, our company has put in many, many requests to ourVAR. They have been little to no help. Maybe someoneherecan help.
We are experience two problems that are sort of related. Thefirst problem occurs when we use several design tabledriven partsin an assembly. When the assembly is opened, ifthe checkboxin options for "Load all referenced documents"isn'tchecked, then the assembly will "break". The partsthatget loaded are all incorrect sizes and shapes. The onlyway tofix this it to open the referenced parts, and the switchback to theassembly, and it "fixes" itself. Thework around for this, asstated above, is to load all referenceddocuments. Theprobable reason for this is that our partfiles have part filesinside of part files, inside of part files(we do not want to getaway from this architecture, this is whatmakes SW so powerful forour application).
The second problem is multiplied due to us loaded allreferenceddocuments. Any time we open a part in PDMWE, itasks us toopen the part "Read only". This requires us toclick"Yes" for every part we load. Then, after weare done usingthe part, even if we make no changes, and say"No" to save changes,we get more pop ups. It asksus to save the referenceddocuments that we opened "Readonly".
I've attached a video that I created with a 3rd partysoftware. I tried to keep the size down. Rename the fileto .wmv(it's not really a zip file).
I can't imaging that we are the only ones experiencingtheseissues? It's frustrating opening an assembly with 20parts,let alonethousands. We have SW 3.1, and the latestversion ofPDMWE.SolidworksSolidworks Pdm enterprise Pdm
