I have a very large number of files in my vault. I would like to rename files in a project without losing context. The only way I know of is to allow rename, and go through the project file by file. This particular project is around 7000 files, and I need to do it to one other as well. Any other suggestions?

Known Issue with 2009 PDM WorkGroup.
If planning to run any process using SW task scheduler. you must first turn off your PDMW addin in Solidworks or process will fail due to vault login permissions problem.
SW Task Schedule for vault must run as pdmwadmin and your addin login might be only user level. See open SPR list below.SPR 453697: PDM Workgroup Task Scheduler fails to login when both SolidWorks 2008 and 2009 are installed SPR 466710: 2009 Task Scheduler fails to remove PDM Workgroup add-in when running tasks -

Thanks for the warning. Is there a SR# we can all go to and hassle SW to fix this?

Fun, Fun…
So you’re saying that I need to disable the addin even if I’m running a process on the Vault?

Is this PDMWorks Workgroup or Enterprise?
If Workgroup, is it greyed out in the vault? I’ve had a case where a file has been deleted but still stuck around in the vault view. After a restart of the server service it went away.

Workgroup. It isnt greyed out in the vault. I restarted the vault and it did not correct the issue. I really appreciate your help. Oh, this is with about the files so far. It always happens when i need the file. too.

Is it referenced to any other assembly? Try opening that assembly and see if it comes across that way.
Also, see if another user is having the same issue with that file. -

Go into the Vault Admin tool and check the options to rebuild and validate the tree before you restart the vault process on the server. This is one thing I always do before looking at the actual files. In 2009 it is called “Validate Vault” and you can pick next startup.

Within Workgroup PDM 2009, I have seen this pop up recently where a client (SW Explorer) is at SP1 but the PDM Server application is at SP0. Make sure that your PDM Server is up to SP1 as well by going to Help, About SolidWorks Workgroup PDM within the SolidWorks GUI. You can obtain the updated PDM Server program through the Customer Portal.

I have this issue as an open SR 1-1056086811 with SolidWorks. I have sent them my vault to try to resolve this issue. No attachment files will checkout properly and I get this error, even though the file attachment exists. I can then check out the file in question by itself no problem.

I am not sure this will help as you would have to check out the files and then re-check them in as another project but here is the first podcast I did I think in SW 2005-6. All of this should still work though with the newer versions
