pdm, exclude parts from the tree copy and other functions

Hello everyone,
in our pdm solidwork professional (built by self-taught), I would like to exclude (inhibit) some parts and assemblies from the tree copy. Currently we have excluded obviously all the parts that are in the vendor library folder, excluding the folder, but if I wanted to exclude some parts I could do it only by hand (operation between other things not immediate as the parts are numbered by the pdm itself).
In practice I would like to somehow change the status of the parts or assemble and put them in a "state of library".
I try to explain better, in the company we make steel cabinets, the customer asks me a 700 mm cabinet. I open a similar one from 600, make the tree copy and put it in the order folder. therefore I modify it and I bring it to 700.
when I make the tree copy, hinges, handles and all the things I buy (as put in the vendor library folder) are not copied. However there are some standard parts that we do as the handle support that I would like it to be treated as part of library even if it does not belong to a supplier (or better it is as if it were internal supplier). the simple thing, would be to move the parts produced internally and of which is expected to be re-use in the supplier folder, but so doing I exclude them from some automated operations that are useful to me, such as pdf and dwg table generation, dxf for cutting and more.
How can I solve this?
Sorry, but I don't have the gift of synthesis :cry:
 
I don't know about pdm, but couldn't you put a property in the file (like isfastener) that makes you recognize whether the file is blocked or not?
or create folders in which to insert non-commercial details but equally blocked (even if this would require a great job of reassigning references)?
 
thanks for the answer,
I am self-taught thanks to youtube, forum and internet, so every idea is always welcome.
the folder would be the last beach, but it is feasible. with regard to references should not be a problem, as there is the working move tree that practically moves and updates parts, together and drawings and how connected (including attached documents).
putting the property would not help me, as in the pdm, when I make the tree copy, I can only exclude folders and not parts and/or assemblies that have certain properties.
it would be nice if it was possible to add a state to the file (see workflow) that would exclude it from this passage.
 
automatically you can't do this but you can filter the display of the various files from the "shaft copy" tab according to some variables, such as "state" filters and then select in block what appears to you.. I feel like a good escape, don't I?
