DWG to EPDM data migration - problems with XREF

Hello

We (finally) switch all our Design Office data from the historical server to the EPDM and I find myself with a problem with XREF links concerning DWG files.

Indeed, I moved a folder containing DWGs and when I want to archive them, PDM tells me that linked DWG files (XREF) are Out of SolidWorks PDM.

So I copied the database where all these DWG planes used for XREF on PDM are integrated but it still doesn't work.

Is there a tool to give these XREF a mass path back to the PDM?

I hope so because otherwise we will have to keep 2 files of BE data, which does not go in the direction of the simplification I was hoping for.

Thanks in advance,

Antho

For my part, I don't have a bulk solution for autodesk products in PDM.

I don't know if the reference update can be used in this case:

TOOL/Update References...

Oh yes indeed, via PDM explorer, "TOOL/Update references" allows you to copy the references to the PDM or give back the folder in which they are to replace them.

On the other hand, I don't know if it will work on several files at the same time, I'll test it but it already allows me to move forward, thank you!
