You can use standard Windows techniques to move files and folders into the vault. The SOLIDWORKS PDM copy and move operations help to ensure the integrity of the vault.
SOLIDWORKS 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
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
premoved
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 move permission for
the source folder and add or rename permission for the target folder.
