Automating a process using Potion Lab  always leads to greater productivity, and having this functionality in  3DEXPERIENCE apps  is an additional benefit. Using  Potion Lab , we can  create an automatic interaction in Potion Lab  from apps and services in your  3D Dashboard . A  potion  is composed of one  Trigger Ingredient  that sets conditions and one or more resulting ingredients that define  actions . When the conditions of the  Trigger Ingredient  are met,  Potion Lab executes the actions . Let’s take a look on the below example of how this works: Consider a scenario where a production operator creates an issue in  Issue Management  and sets the designer (who developed the model) as assignee. At that time, he needs to inform about this issue to the manufacturing head. We’re now going to  automate a group notification using Potion Lab , so that the notification is automatically shared with th...

  We often came across the Error “Cyclic Reference” during check-In files in SOLIDWORKS PDM. This error is caused due to Improper file reference. Let see what is means and how to overcome this error during working with SOLIDWORKS PDM Environment. Cyclic Reference: A cyclic reference occurs for example “When there is an assembly referencing another assembly that in turn references the first assembly”. SOLIDWORKS PDM does not allow the check-in of a cyclic reference because it causes an endless loop. The SOLIDWORKS PDM Administration tool has a setting to block the check in of files with cyclic references. You will find the setting on the ‘Warnings’ page of the User’s ‘Properties’ under the ‘Check In’ operations. This setting is active and cannot be changed. This is to emphasize that you cannot check in files with cyclic references. The presence of cyclic references in SOLIDWORKS is a poor design practice, which you should avoid. The following paragraphs explain this scenario and des...

SOLIDWORKS FILE MANAGEMENT  SERIES – II This issue is also known as the “Unable to Locate File” error in SOLIDWORKS or SOLIDWORKS File not found error. What could be the reason for this error? Had anyone found the solution for it? In this document, we will see the following: The reason for this error. How to work without encountering this error. How to resolve if the error occurs. Reason of this Error We have one Assembly or Drawing document physically saved. When you open that document,  SOLIDWORKS  will refer & load all its inserted files (like assemblies, subassemblies, part files etc.) in that document. These files are called  referenced files  & this process is called  File Reference . (To see the referenced files go to File > Find References) The main reason for the above-mentioned error is  missing File References . To understand this, first you need to know about the  “SOLIDWORKS File Search Order” . Search Order Let me explain ...
