Multiple working directories?
(OP)
My second question?? What is the easiest way to open assemblies when you need to pull parts in from multiple directories? As everybody knows --- the assemblies always fail.

You can also create an external file named search.pro and point to it from your config.pro with search_path_file. This makes it easier to change the search paths.
PTC recommends that the full path be used to avoid problems.
"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

In config.pro, add a line like this:
search_path_file C:\[the path to the file]\search.pro
(Note that "search.pro" can be any text-format file, named whatever you like, on any drive.)
Then create a file at that location, named search.pro, and create entries like:
search_path C:\COMPON~1\BEARINGS
search_path C:\COMPON~1\BUSHINGS
search_path C:\COMPON~1\ELECTR~1
Where each entry corresponds to a directory where you'd like Pro/E to search for components. (You can choose any path, I've used DOS ASCII 8.3-style filenames, because I don't completely trust Pro/E 2001 to accurately handle long Windows Unicode filenames.)
