Search for references in the PDM vault
This option extracts a list of links that are different between SOLIDWORKS and PDM references.
If we check the option Display the analysis window before applying the result we'll have access to the next window.
- Files : The first column displays the assemblies or drawings as well as their references (Tab Contents of).
- References : The second column displays the locations stored in the SOLIDWORKS file.
- Files found in with the same name : This last column displays the location of the SOLIDWORKS document in (the line is empty if the file is not found in the document vault).
In this example, we see for example that the file: Body2.sldprt assembly content table.sldasm is not referenced correctly.
In this window it is possible to copy the location by right-clicking :
The option Copy the reference will send to the clipboard the address of the file as saved in the SOLIDWORKS file:
C:\n-Before-SalesW2015\20 - Weldments2.sldprt
The option Copy the search result will send to the clipboard the file address found in :
D:\Vue \myPDMtools_2015\MCO\Corps2
The option Copy will send the contents of the copied line to the clipboard:
Body2.sldprt C:\n-Before-SalesW2015\20 - Weldments2.sldprt D:\/View \myPDMtools_2015\MCO\Corps2.SLDPRT
The option Copy the list will send the entire contents of the window to the clipboard.
The button Go A allows you to open the location of the file in.
These different copies and options make it easier for Dependencies.
