I've got a question for those of you smarter than I am, or with more experience than I have, about automating a common practice for us.
Can anyone tell me how, or if it's even possible, to feed a standard text list of numbers into interlink and have any corresponding models (latest version), if any, checked out into an existing workspace.
We use Interlink 3.4 M011 and Wildfire 2.0 M140.
Some items might be in smaller assemblies, and those can be checked out easy enough, but when building new higher level assemblies lots of sub- assemblies don't exist yet and have to be built from scratch even though most of the individual parts already exist. Hand checking-out all those small parts (from all over the libraries - several hundred to a thousand) is very time consuming and tedious).
Our SAP system will generate lists of parts that have been entered by project engineers of the current and past projects for costing and such that can be edited to quickly form the lists of needed numbers. That's what we would use as a basis to hand check them out. Is there a way we can use the same lists to do it automatically?
Any help would be appreciated. By the the way, I'm not an admin, just a pro/e user - the admins are always to busy (?) to help us out.
Again, thanks.
