"Send to PDM" tips and tricks

Hey Guys:

Anyone have any tips or tricks when performing a "Send to PDM" command from ProjectLink to PDMLink? We are having some difficulties, and are wondering if there is an easier way...

For example with a top level assembly and drawing with sub-assemblies and parts and drawings, do you start at the top and try to do it all at once? Or start with the parts and the part drawings and move up the assembly? How do you deal with Ghosts? Rename inside the "Send to PDM" command?

In short, what works best?

TIA,

- marc

We did everything "bottom-up" - some of our assembly and drawing relations were too complex for anyone to try to remember everything to do it at once.

However, we abandoned putting CAD data in ProjectLink due to the iteration-reset behavior. We could not have a drawing that was shown to a customer at A.7 be "Sent to PDM", becoming version A.1 and Released.
