Is it possible to open multiple CAD models in one operation

[JB_87049]

Is it possible to select multiple CAD models within the file open dialog of PTC Creo to open multiple models in one operation?
I'm only able to select one model at a time.
Is there perhaps another way to accomplish the same thing?

Thank you very much in advance for any advice.

Hi,

as I know you can't do it from the open dialog of PTC Creo.

I don't know if you use Windchill, in that case you can open multiple cad models by:

- selecting files

- File --> open in --> open in Creo

Nope. It's not something they anticipated, I guess.

If I needed to open the same group of files over and over I might either

(1) Define a mapkey

or

(2) Build a "fake" assembly where all the files are loaded in the packaged condition. Then I'd only have to open the assembly and it would bring in all the bits I want. I could add or remove desired files as things evolve, too.

Apparently this is not possible using a "normal" way.
I guess the only way to solve this without using Windchill is by writing a small weblink application to accomplish this.
