You can use standard Windows techniques to move files and folders into the vault. The Enterprise PDM copy and move operations help to ensure the integrity of the vault.
Enterprise PDM handles copy and move functions as follows:
- Copied and moved files are checked out to you.
- The version of the file in your working
directory is copied; if not available in your working directory,
the latest version of the file is copied from the
archive.
- Changes being made to a file checked out to
another user are not included in the copy.
- Copied files are assigned to their initial state in the
workflow. Moved files retain their pre-moved state.
- If a file you are moving is referenced by other files, a dialog
box displays the referenced files and asks you to confirm that the
referenced search path should be updated automatically.
- To move files in the vault, you must have delete permission for
the source folder and add permission for the target folder.
The numeric extension on Pro/ENGINEER files is removed when the
files are added to the vault. If you drag and drop a Pro/ENGINEER
file into the vault from a directory with multiple versions of the
file that are differentiated by extension, the file with the latest
extension is added.
