Document Links

Once the drawing, PDF and parts list files have been produced, the application creates links between them and the source assembly.

The application function !!assyDocLink(ARRAY,ARRAY,ARRAY,ARRAY) carries out the task of creating the links. In its current format, it creates a Link Folder for each processed assembly in which all the related links are included.

The configuration file holds a rule by which the application can find an existing Link Folder where the new links can be located. It is important that this folder exists otherwise the links cannot be created. The links are created in the following example hierarchy.

When a drawing is updated or regenerated the application searches for any existing links that could be reused, otherwise new ones are created.
