Wading my way through OBD changes.
I have set:
TFDIR_PART = $(TFDIR)Part/
and have files in this location, but the families and parts don't appear when I start OBD.
Any reason why this would happen?
Will do.
Sounds like a plan. One other thing though - can you check whether TFDIR_PART is being defined more than once to the same location, and if so, whether the operator is the same in both instances?
That was my take as well Steve. When we build a dataset from scratch we usually take a copy of the AU dataset and change it to suit. I'm going through that now, but finding lots of speed bumps. I'll play a bit more and see why these aren't appearing in the editor and report back.
Thanks,
As long as all of the parts are available as required - some components do have Family:Part defined at the DG catalog level - no, I don't think it should matter. FWIW, our delivered \worksets\Workset_Name\Standards\Part and \WorkSpaces\Building_Examples\Standards\Part folders are usually empty anyway, leaving everything at the dataset level.
Since TFDIR_PART is simply = $(TFDIR)Part, how is TFDIR itself defined?
That's what I want Steve, not interested in 3 locations for my build when I only need 1. Is that an issue?
