We are implementing Automanager Teamwork for a client of us that are using Solidworks 2003. We have encountered a lot of problems doing this. My question is, has somebody succesfully done this.
Or main problem is how to deal with the custom properties that are specified in Teamwork, such as Item.no. Description etc. When you created a part and you specified these properties for this part you can easily find the part in the Teamwork Vault, no problem so far.
Now I want to make a drawing of this part. Obviously I want to use the same properties that I already specified for the part, but I don't want to reenter all these properties (there are abouth 30 properties. Normally when you make a drawing of a part you drag the part in the drawing window. When you specified the same custom properties in the drawing it inherits the properties from the part. When you want to show these properties in the sheet format you have to use for example $PRPSHEET:"NAME1" this works ok.
But now I want to update my properties for the drawing in Teamwork with Document->Synchronize->Properties from file. This doesn't work, it only works when you use $PRP:"NAME1" instead of $PRPSHEET:"NAME1" . But when you use $PRP:"NAME1" the exhanging of properties from the part to the sheet format doesn't work, this only works when you $PRPSHEET:"NAME1".
Does anybody know a good method of dealing with parts en drawings in Automanager Teamwork?
