Thank you Lorenz for reply.
Searching in internet I had found externals but I was not able to manage it
for my purposes.
Could you please make me an example on how to design it?

Thank you

define files structure in svn (CAD PDM)

[Roberto Bartola]

Hi all,
I'm trying to use svn as a PDM for CAD files.

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Product_data_management )

It looks working fine but I'd like to do better.

-1 structure
In my CAD I can create an assembly which is a file where I assembly many
parts or subassemblies.
Is it possible to create a structure (it could be a txt file) where svn
reads the parts which belongs to the assembly, so to commit, update, lock
 the files linked to the father?

I mean I have an assembly which name is car.assy. In this assembly I have
4 files named wheel.part, a file named engine.assy (which contains
piston.part, cylinder.part ...) , and so on
I'd like to find a way where inporting car.assy, svn will download all
the sub asseblies (engine.assy; engine_bay.assy; rear_side.assy) and
all the parts (wheel.part piston.part cylinder.part ...)

car.assy
wheel.part (number 4)
engine.assy
--piston.part
--cylinder.part
-- 
engine_bay.assy
-- 
-- 
-- 
.


Is it possible?

--rough-parts
-- m.part
-- n.part

-- t.part

project_1: parts:
b.part (from steel_parts/machined-parts)

j.part (from plastic_parts)
u.part (from steel_parts/rough-parts)


Thank you and best regards,
