Hi there,

I'm using SW 2009 5.1, and have come across an interesting issue with attachments.

Let's say I make a new part and check it into the vault.  The part has a decal on it, so I attach that decal file (a .jpg) to the part, and make sure that I have the "include attachments" option selected in the PDM options.  When I check that part out again, the attachment is also downloaded from the vault to my machine.

Now, let's say I make a change to the part, and check it back in.  In the vault view, the attachment appears to be still attached.  However, when I check the part out (with latest revisions option), the attachment is no longer included in the download.

So, does this mean I have to re-attach the decal file every single time I check it back in?  This doesn't make sense to have to remember to check in all attached files each time the part is revised...

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Stephen
