Hi,

in Windchill, we have several workspaces. Each workspace has some sub folders.

In the table view, if I want to search "*.drw". I can only see drawings inside my current folder. But nothing from the sub folders.

Did we setup something wrong?

Thanks

All right a solution was found. But not as straightforward as I would expected. To get all the drawings. first I selected the General assembly which contained all the models. Then I added this General assembly into my workspace. In the next page, I selected to include all drawings and parts. All drawings related to the model were saved to local workspace.

I just don't get it why Windchill cannot make the behaviour like Windows explorer.

Can you provide us more informations about your use-case?

A user workspace doesn't have sub-folder which is in-line with what you observe.

Thanks for replying.

Yes, Workspace consists of both local and server side. Local workspace has no sub folder. Just a flat structure. But in common space under the project , there are sub folders on the server side for each workspace.

I need to recreate all the PDFs for all drawings under this workspace. So I tried to pull all of them from server side to my local workspace, but I couldn't find a way to display all them in common space.
