I know it can be done through windchill but I am working on a product that is not in windchill and I need to create a single database export of all assemblies parts and drawings for a sub-assembly. This specific sub-assembly is part of a very large assembly so copying the folder won't work and the only suggestion I have been given by our local PTC support is to sit an individually select and copy the drawings I need after saving a backup. This cannot be the best solution.
I have also tried saving a copy but then you need to change all the part names if the drawings are going to be copied with the parts and the drawing and part names have to be a perfect match or it doesn't copy the drawings. Our organisation like most other already use a different suffix for different types of drawings so i would need to go an individually change each one of those for the 'Save as Copy' function to work which is also not the right way to go about this.
Has anybody managed to find a way to do a 'Pack and Go' or similar function in Creo that actually copies all the parts and drawing files? It is very simply done in several other CAD packages and I can't understand why PTC would only have it available through windchill and not in the CAD software itself.
