PDMWorks file explor. question?

PDMWorks file explor. question?

PDMWorks file explor. question?

(OP)
Hello fellow engineers and designers,
I like to relieve my work directory infrequently and would like to know if in more recent versions there is the ability to control select(multiple)files in your work directory for deletion?

I am using sw 2005 sp 3.1
PDMWorks 2005

regards,

RE: PDMWorks file explor. question?

(OP)
I am using PDMWorks through SolidWorks.
there is a file folder located on the right side of the screen.  From here I am accessing the file explorer in the PDMWorks module (while working in Solidworks).

My problem is when I go to clean out my work dir. I can only delete one (1) file at a time.  Working in this module has it's advantages too, because you can see in real time if the file you are about to delete is = to the vault.

I would like to be able to control select (hold down control key) and select multiple files for deletion.

I will type up an enhncement if this is not available in more recent versions than I am running.

Ah, I see. I have not been able to delete that way also, only one at a time. A good Enh.Request. I do not know if it has changed for 2006. Maybe someone has a macro or API to do this?
