How can I regen all models on a drawing at one time.

Is there any way I can regen all the models on the drawing one after another without having to set each one one active and then hit regen? Some of our flat state drawings have 2 or 3 hundred models and we have to regen each one to ensure they update correctly. This is very time consuming. Please help if you can. Thanks.

I'm surprised to hear this, but I don't do much sheetmetal. Try doing a regen twice in succession. Pro/E has ALWAYS had an issue with not finishing the neccessary regens.

I don't deal with assemblies that large, but this might help (as long as you have AAX and are using top-down design). Make sure the top-level assembly is the active model in the drawing, and regenerate that. In instances where I want to be absolutely sure, I would close the drawing, erase not displayed, open the top level assembly, regen. that, then open the drawing. When you open the drawing you should see in the dashboard that each instance and flat pattern is being regenerated. This is the only way I know of getting it to work, and thus far it has not failed me.
