Keep Folder Structure When Composing Pack and Go SW2017

Out of category

Hello.

I would like to make a take-home composition of my (very large) head assembly.

As there are many sub-folders, I want to keep the whole structure of the folders to avoid mixing everything up.

This is where it gets complicated. I did uncheck the Single folder (flat) box but instead of keeping the whole tree structure, it keeps me only the last folders in which the Solidworks elements are located.

I searched on the internet, on the SW2017 version, you should have the choice between 3 modes: "Single folder (flat)", "Flatten into a minimum of folders" or "Keep all folder structure". These 3 modes do not appear on my take-home composition window, see attached image.

I don't understand why Solidworks doesn't want to keep the whole tree of subfolders for me.

Am I missing an SW module? Is my assembly too large? Are my paths too long?

Thank you for your help.

Hello

Have you tried saving in a zip file? It seems to me that the structure is better preserved.

Same as y.pacquelet, I don't have the 3 choices with SW2017 SP3.0

What I don't understand is that even if it doesn't offer me the 3 choices of structure, logically, it should keep the same structure when the single folder box is unchecked!
