Copy and Move Functions

You can use standard Windows techniques to move files and folders into your local cache. The Connector for SOLIDWORKS copy and move operations help to ensure the integrity of the files and their relationships.

Connector for SOLIDWORKS handles copy and move functions as follows:

  • You can move files with drag and drop or Cut and Paste. Or, you can Copy files and use Paste Shared to paste the links to the original files in another location.
  • When you copy and paste a file, the iteration 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 server.
  • Changes being made to a file checked out to another user are not included in the copy.
  • To move files on the server, you must have delete permission for the source folder and add permission for the target folder. If you are the folder owner, you have these permissions by default.
