[Solved] LINKS, .XLS, SLAVE PARTS
Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 9:47 pm
Hello,
I am just playing around with the new Slave Part feature. This seems very handy so far.
For starters, I made a Mold design with the Top'Mold module. After that was done I decided to make some slave files to create my electrodes (manually because I do not have the Top'Electrode). The first slave file was for the bottom cavity. I then opened the slave file and used File, Include to include two separate "insert" slave files I had also created.
I became curious about how this was all working out as far as referencing the original .mld file so I used File, Links to check it out...
I was surprised that the Master file does not show up in Links for the slaved part. Shouldn't it be listed here ?
I then ran File,Links on the Master file. I saw that the slaved files were listed there. That seems good...
While browsing through there I found that there was an .xls (Excel) file listed in the links. This file SHOULD NOT be listed in the links because it is not related to the other files. The only thing it has in common is that it resides in the same folder as the Master and Slave documents.
Does this sound like a bug ? Or is TS supposed to do this for some reason ? I don't know if it would cause many problems down the road or not but it seemed worth mentioning.
