First off, I inherited this work station and network file structure from a departed designer (a few months back). In addition I am fairly new to solidworks in terms of creating models and producing Mfg dwg sets.
I have attached some screenshots to try help illustrate some issues.
1. How would a major assy model(Row 1_03.SLDASM become a library part? This wreeks havoc when working on Dwg set and trying to save and check back in (can not put library tool box items into the vault?). A better question is how to get the assy and all children out of library/toolbox ? I believe I have run sldsetdocprop.exe some time ago, but I am not sure that did anything... and now thinking about it, I don't think I figured out how to run that on a file that is tied up in the pdm1/
2. How can the status icon in frontof Row 1_03.SLDASM show the document does not exist in the vault, when it is clearly down under the Bag Retrofit, Row 1 Folder? Does it need to reside in the same Parent folder ... is that the problem?
This is part of a bigger problem that a few sheets in the Row 1_03 5-30-13. SLDDRW do not represent the latest model Row1_03.SLDASM.
You think you are confused ! any help or suggestions to provide more info is much appreciated,
thank you!
