You may want to consider a completely different approach. Rather than using pack and go for the entire project (which probably duplicates a lot of files that you won't be changing), just pack and go (or Save As) the top assembly. As you work on the new design, any part/assy that you need to make ch...

I dont recall having issue with different drawing name...image.png

Different folder.

We do a lot of projects that are similar to previous projects. So we usually Pack n Go with a new name to a new folder. For various reasons, we have decided to start putting one part per drawing sheet, regardless of drawing size/complexity. We were going o save the drawings with a 2-digit number add...

The drawings have exactly the same name as the part/assembly they are referencing? Welllll... no. We added a 2digit adder to help identify part drawings that go with assy drawings. I was thinking that the first test (that worked) we had done that, but we didn't. That brings up a best practice quest...

SW2021 SP5 We have always included all the part drawings in a drawing package with the assembly. We are trying to start something new - which is to have each part drawing on a separate sheet (separate file). I did a test assembly, assembly drawing, and individual part drawings. I need to be able to ...

Has anyone tried Glovius? Looks good in demo, but that is always a part or small assembly. $299-$399 / year.

We attempt to use edrawings. But with large assemblies it's terrible. Takes forever to save a project. Sometimes it crashes before finishing. And when it does, often times there are items missing in the edrawing. Sometimes measure works, sometimes it does not. Is there another product that's good fo...

So we ended up going with this computer:
Dell 5820
Intel 19-10900X
AMD Radeon Pro W6600 (8GB)
64GB RAM

I was looking at SW 2022 stats when I ordered. SW 2021 doesn't support our vid card. I don't want to upgrade to 2022 any time soon. Any one else using the AMD Radeon Pro W6600 card with SW 2021?

Looking to see what others are using to design in SW 2021 these days. Our computers just don't seem to be cutting it anymore. I'd say an average project has about 6000 components . My computer now, is a Dell Precision 3630 with an i7-8700 (3.2 GHz). It has 32 GB RAM, 512 GB M2 SSD, running Win 10 Pr...
