Summary


Details

In this example, the Customer is showing their company name in the PathFinder, using "Document Name Formula".
If a Solid Edge assembly is opened outside of the Solid Edge application - for example in "File Explorer", and File Properties edited, the PathFinder content is not updated automatically.

Solution

There is a quick and easy way to update the whole assembly:

In Solid Edge, open the assembly, go to File - Info - Edit Links, click on the first line (main assembly), then hit "Update now".

This will update the properties shown in PathFinder for every document (part, subassembly).
