nostalgic feeling doing detail drawings
Not much fun doing detailed drawings. I remember doing detail drawings in the early 90's on Pro/ENGINEER and being able to select 10+ drawings into memory all at once. Does anyone know what year we lost the ability to load countless drawings? *not that it's a big deal just being nostalgic LOL

We don't have any issues with loading multiple drawings into memory. A lot depends on how much memory your computer and graphics card have. I have had about 15-18 loaded before the system complains and says no more can be loaded. We are on Creo 9.

I mean using control - shift select 10+ at a time.

If you are linked to Windchill you can (from the active Workspace) select multiple models and or drawings and then File > Open In > Creo.

Don't know if it's been a Creo thing, or a result of the changes to Windows over the intervening years. Since pretty much every program, including Creo, uses the Microsoft based file opening dialog, I'd suspect it's more of a windows thing than something PTC has done.
The <Ctrl>-Select doesn't work in Word or Excel to select multiple files to open, but using a selection rectangle to pick multiple files does.
Creo doesn't allow the "rectangle select" method, either.

My nostalgia goes back to HPUX or IRIX then.

Ah, yes. When you'd do an "uptime" and it wasn't days (if you're lucky) like Windows, but months and months or even a year and that was because you had a power outage. The HP workstation was an expensive thing to buy, but they were so reliable.

Creo does not use the MFC calls for file open as it has no way to display or handle iterations or family table members.
