Last day of work before Christmas break for me! Going out with the crew to eat lunch together at noon and at 4:30 I'll be off until January 6th. I hope everyone has wonderful holidays, stay safe and please don't drink and drive. Merry Christmas Alex, and everyone else out there that celebrates this...

Herding hundreds of engineers, in different countries, speaking different languages, is a near impossible task. Hang in there! All I could think about was herding cats... :lol: I feel the same way sometimes, over 100 people in 4 countries in our PDM system. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_MaJDK3VNE

Wow Glenn. Could you share a video of an internal combustion engine car? I am just curious what the difference is. Do you think the electric one does not redirect because the weight being so low in the vehicle (where the battery pack is located), it just seems to snap the wooden posts.

The only thing that I can think of is that it isn't actually attached to the edge. Make sure that your arrowhead is attached to the edge. Also, make sure that the frame is actually inside the view. (double click on the view to make it "active" and then place the frame) Turned out to be PE...

Has anyone else noticed how the datums work in relation to GD&T frames in SW 2022? click on the image below (it is a GIF file) Media1(4).gif That never used to happen in SW 2018. DanPihlaja , I saw your GIF and I am having issues with my GD&T frame extension line not snapping to the horizon...

I even went so far as running the Admin Image again on this machine. It still doesn't have the add-in in Word. OK, so here is an update for everyone else's information. I re-ran the Admin Image on a backup machine. It did not update the Word software with the Add-in. That was PEBKAC (Problem Exists...

Help. I just recently upgraded all client computers using an Admin Image for 2023. I just realized that when I set up that 2023 Admin Image, I did not check the PDM Client option to install the Microsoft Office Add-in. I went back into the Admin Image and checked the box (for my own computer to begi...

Thanks @AlexB and @jcapriotti. Now for my next question...

Has anyone used that information to create a kind of report (dashboard) of this information? Or could someone direct me how to accomplish something like this?

VicFrauenfeld

We just upgraded to 2023 and I turned on the "Get" log (Logging File Retrieval Operations). I am wondering where this log file is stored on the Archive Servers. I would like to use the log file in an Excel format (or something else) to make a dashboard showing all the files that users are ...

I did notice it the other day, but it seemed fixed. It was good for a while, now it seems like it is lagging again.

Now they generally pile 'em up in some sort of line and a wood chipping machine comes and picks up the remains to create chip. A lot of the chip is used for regrowth as a source of nutriment. They should send the truck with wood chips to my house. I could use a bunch for my flowerbeds. I am not too...

To be safe, you should also set the Refuse Login permission under the Administrative Permissions. I thought of that while I was typing my original post. Fortunately, our IT department removes the user name from Active Directory within a day or so. I think I might add the Refuse Login permission to ...

VicFrauenfeld

We use Active Directory groups for our user list. When we started with PDM, our IT department had users listed by "First Last" in Active Directory. Doing it this way entered the users into the PDM user list "Full name" cell as "First Last". This way, the list, sorted by...

I have been adding the acronym (NLE) to the users that have left the company. It stands for No Longer Employed. I added it at the end of their name in the "Full name:" value of their User properties form. It keeps the user in the system, but helps me sort the list of users. I also make sur...

Hello matt Unfortunately, this issue is happening to me again (after a reboot to the computer, I have to log into this forum page again). Is anyone else having an issue again? I am just trying to see if it is on my side or not. It isn’t a big problem for me because I use LastPass so I don’t have to ...

Here is a little update on my situation. I originally needed this ability because we are looking at migrating a lot of CAD data to our PDM vault from a network folder location. I didn't want to worry about moving the files into other folders within the PDM system during the migration (long story, do...

This would be a lot funnier if it wasn't our lot being destroyed. Check the timer in the upper left hand corner. It took him almost an hour to escape.

No Toolbar layout, Keyboard shortcuts, Mouse gestures, menu customizations, or Saved views are deployed. I just went through the available System Options in the tool.

VicFrauenfeld

I have it set to "Every Time a user starts SOLIDWORKS (Apply locked options)"

VicFrauenfeld

It seems to have worked for me. The last install I used it on was 2021 SP5. I am locking a number of the settings so that the users cannot change their settings.

VicFrauenfeld

Sorry, I might be coming to the party late. But have you tried the Settings Administrator in the Admin Image? Here is a link to a blog about some of the capabilities: https://www.javelin-tech.com/blog/2016/09/solidworks-setting-administration/. The one thing I will mention is that If you want to use...

Hey everyone, just wondering if anyone would be willing to help me. I would like to move files from one folder to another when that file is transitioned in PDM.

@mattpeneguy it is a good opportunity and the new employee would be working with me. However, I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing

. Please use my name if anyone applies.

Unfortunately, I was also seeing this issue. And switching to Flat View does not fix the issue for me. I am using SW 2021 SP5.1. However, I actually found something useful on the other site (SWYM), if you click on the File Locations option and check the box to "Include subfolders" the draw...

Thank goodness it is not Monday...I don't think I could have come up with that yesterday.

Thank you matt , you make it sound like it was not much work to get this forum up and running (somehow I don't believe it was easy). Any time you spent is very appreciated by all of us. This forum is very helpful for a lot of people. I hope you know that, because of you, many people are becoming mor...

Sorry I cannot answer your question. But you say that it is easy to add the part number to the copied or branched file. How did you accomplish that?

I might be a bit less active, I'm having health issues lately. I passed out and had a seizure at work this week and was brought to the hospital by ambulance and then plugged on oxygen because they were scared I was going to die. Still no idea what's wrong with me, but I'm back to 'normal', I should...

We (Admins) let users delete a file. However, only Admins are allowed to destroy files that have been deleted. If a user deletes a file, they can tell me to restore it right away.

Company policy is that everything new is done in SolidWorks. We have two licenses of Creo to be able to view and "simple tweak" old legace Pro-E files. We also have a few DXF files that we converted from an even older 2D system (ExpertCAD). We normally do not manipulate the old data. If an...

Would you/your company be providing the SolidWorks license or would you need the person doing the work to have the license?

Thanks for this info bnemec . We don't have a lot of issues with Explorer crashing, but it does happen every once and a while.
