copytree

Description

The copytree command copies a file tree in the SOLIDWORKS PDM vault, with options to apply prefixes, suffixes, and other filters. This only works with assembly files.

Syntax

copytree [-search|-filePath] -suffix -prefix -recursive -includedrawings -latest -directory

Parameters

  • filePath: The source file or directory to copy.
  • directory: Specifies the target directory where the files will be copied.
  • search: A search query to filter files to be copied.
  • suffix: Adds a suffix to the copied files.
  • prefix: Adds a prefix to the copied files.
  • recursive: Copies files recursively from subdirectories.
  • includedrawings: Includes associated drawing files in the copy operation.
  • latest: Ensures the latest version of the files is copied.

Examples

  copytree -filePath "fidget spinner.sldasm" -suffix _ -directory "\new project" #copies the fidget spinner to new project folder with suffix _
  copytree -search "*.sldasm" -includedrawings -directory "c:\export" #copies all assemblies in current directory to the export under c drive

Remarks

  • The -dir parameter specifies the target directory. If omitted, the current directory is used.
  • Use the recursive parameter to include all subdirectories in the operation.
  • The includedrawings parameter ensures that associated drawing files are included in the copy.
  • The latest parameter ensures that only the latest versions of files are copied.

Availability

Available since PDMShell 2.0.46.
