Hi,

I work for a customer who needs me to revise drawings that reside in their PDM system. The revision work is often done on a local network which is not connected to the customer's PDM system.

Pack and Go is (usually) a great tool to pull all the necessary files from their PDM system.

However, once the work is done the modified files need to be returned to the customer's PDM system. The customer has requested that this is done using the Pack and Go function, however I'm not sure if this is a necessary request.

The problem is that I normally only want to return the modified files (and not all the files) so using Pack and Go can take much longer than just copying and pasting the necessary files and also increase the risk of error, both of which increase costs.

So this raises the question: what does Pack and Go actually do?!

Is it simply a glorified copy and paste tool with a few explorer level features or does it actually modify the files in any way?

I am using SolidWorks 2010

Thanks in advance for your support

Chris
