Model Tree Question

Hi All,

I have a model tree questions that I hope someone can help me with....

We have a part directory where we (should) store all the fixings and other component parts that are used to build up our assemblies.

In the past people have saved lots of these 'common' parts into the working directories for a particular project, creating multiple uncontrolled copies of basically the same part. This is causing me a headache as well as costing time trying to dig them all out.

I wondered if it was possible to create a new column in the model tree that would display the file location of each part used in that assembly?? This would make it easier to see which parts needed to be replaced with the part from the correct file location.

If this isn't possible, does anyone have any ideas how I can quickly see the location details of parts in an assembly??

(Im using Creo 3)

Thanks in advance for any ideas offered.

James M.

You may need to set this config option "display_full_object_path" to yes as well.

Hi,

RMB on the assembly name in the model tree --> Info --> Model.

Thanks for that but it still doesnt give me a location for the individual parts? See attached screen shot.

I need to be able to see if a part is being pulled in from the project fold or pulled in from the correct database storage?
