We're finally implementing revisions in vault/inventor and i'm curious about the procedure for using them.
By that - i get how to make the revision itself and how they're tracked. If you put rev2 of a part into an assembly, that assembly sticks with rev2 after you revise the part beyond rev2 unless you specifically update it to a later version.
What i'm curious about is how you deal with your workspace?
Specifically, i'm dealing with updating the revision on some library parts. I've revised them and as long as clean out the folder that library part refers to, doing an open from vault opens the correct files and pulls the correct revisions.
However, if I don't clean the folder it does not. If i pull an older rev down, then close it out, go back into vault and do an open on the current version - it will pull the older rev's parts still. Like it is seeing part1.ipt is already on the local machine so it skips it.
Is there a setting to make it automatically pull down the version the assembly is referring to? Or do you always have to clear your library/working folders? Clearing every time seems like a painful way to go about it.
