Adding new supplier in EMX

[shaanmech]

Is there any way to add new supplier in the EMX supplier list? Or is there any way to create our own supplier in EMX? Can anyone help me to solve this......

There are three steps to add new suppliers to EMX component library:

1. There is a 'supplier.txt' file in each component folder. Use a text editor to add new suppliers.
2. Create folder in the same component folder. The folder name needs to coincide with the text in 'supplier.txt'. The easiest way is duplicating an existing folder and rename it.
3. Update the data in 'comp_data.txt'.

I have already tried first two steps, I cant understand the last step? By duplicating d-m-e folder, I created a new folder wherever the d-m-e exists in the component folder. I have also added that folder name in "supplier.txt" file. How to update the data in "comp_data.txt"??

A recorded video for adding a supplier has been uploaded.

The content of the new supplier will exactly the same to the copied one. We will have to update the component data file to fit your requirements. A description doc for the data file is available with the link below.

Thank you for your reply sir .  I tried duplicating components it worked but I want to add a new assembly in existing mold base assemblies i.e in mm/component/asm because I need only specific set of plates in the new assembly. While clicking load asm button in moldbase definition box I need that new assembly in the supplier list. Please help me to solve this  ...

Adding a new moldbase supplier is a different story. It's a bit different to component.

Take a look at this video: add_moldbase_supplier.mp4

Hello Koch,

I tried the method shown in the video but I cant save the new file either overwrite it, If I type a new name and click save it is not saving in that list, but the method is useful. I cant locate the problem hence I did not replied yet

Thanks,

Shanmuga..
