Moving and/or Copying Solidworks Files

It could be as simple as drag-and-drop. If you have your search directories set up, SW will look there first.

Pack-and-go in SW Explorer is also a good option. This will preserve links between copies.

I would and do use the pack and go method, don't forget to tick the drawings box, also un-tick the flatten folder box to show you where the original documents came from, if you want to.

You will need to know these locations, if you wish to isolate the original folders, by renaming them for example.

Sometimes, but not always, Solidworks will try to find the original folder, bad thing if you need to change something in the new folder.

Sorry tick, I was writing mine, whilst you must have sent yours, lol

But how do you deal with moving files into multiple folders using pack and go?

I see that you did ask two questions in you post not one.

For this question, you can use Pack and go.

Your example is asking a totally different question.

First of all, I would never work that way, with everything in the same folder, must be crazy trying to find anything! lol And then you come to this problem that you are facing.

Why would you want too?

Are you looking to put drawings in one folder, parts in another, etc..? Or are you trying to put brought-in parts in one and manufactured parts in another?

Give us an example of what you are trying to achieve and we can then try to work out the best way for you.
