To see this reference, select the output file in the file explorer and consult the tab Content.


Example :

       - The Existing file will be moved to a sub-folder before the new export is added. Name of the moved file :


 



    • No modification, but defined by a part of the common name :

The name of the generated file contains for example the name of the source file and the value of the index variable. In this case, in order to find the file of the previous index, the common part of the generated file name must be filled in.

For example: Source file name - index

 


Common name : Name of the source file - (without the index that changes with each generation)


 

        


    • Defined by a variable of the file to be moved: The existing file is renamed with its own variables before moving it to the sub-folder.

 

        


    • Adding the number of files in the sub-folder as a suffix: The existing file is renamed with the number of files in the moving folder as a suffix



The option is not valid outside of PDM.


    • Number of files in the : Rename the file with the number of files with the same name in the sub-folder, then copy it to the sub-folder.


  • Delete old files:

For example, if the file name generated by DocPublication is set like this:
