How to find interconnections between project

I have a project. I removed all entities from this project, try to delete this project, and I gather information that this project is already used in other projects. Is there any tool to find, which projects are related to this project? I mean something like "View relationships" which I can find in Things, but can not find such tool for project.


PS. Fortunatelly, I have only few projects on my server, all written by me, so it was enough to check my last projects. It was in General Information/Project Dependencies of other project. But if I would be supporting somebody's else server, then do not know how to find in which project we have this relationships set.

Did not find anything in the logs as well related to who references it. https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS343247 says it should be in ApplicationLog on DEBUG.

Hello,

 

Sounds like you have a similar issue as I do in my post where I create child projects for some reason the parent project gets dependencies on the child projects.

 

I still haven't quite figured out why this is but I am leaning towards perhaps opening a case with PTC to see if they can figure something out.

As I am curious, what are you trying to accomplish? Do you just want to be able to remove a complete project?

 

Regards,

Jens

Yes, that was the case: I wanted to delete project. 

 

And dependencies are, because we want to make some library for all projects, and we want other projects to use common entities from this library - and have it somehow documented.

Unfortunatelly, I was asked to rename project, so the only way I know was to create new one and delete old one... and that's where the story starts 😉 

And the difference between your & main project is, I do it manually, not by program.  And our problem was, how to find this dependencies, if you have parents with no entry, and how to find childs. Manually preferred.
