Hi,

We've recently added a task to our workflow to convert models to parasolids upon approval. When this is performed we'd like to add the revision of the model to the end of the file name i.e. _Rev.x_b

When the model is revised and approved the revision increments, so if the first file name was _RevA.x_b, the second is _RevB.x_b

The problem we have is that we want the new file to replace the old one, but because the file name is changing the "Replace existing files" option in the Convert task doesn't work.

Is there a way to get the new file to overwrite the old, or even a way to automatically delete the old when the new is created?

I would have thought this kind of functionality would be included in EPDM, but my search so far has led me to believe it will be a somewhat complex work around.

EDIT: I know it would be easier to just not include the revision in the file name, but at this stage, that is not an option.
