Packager and Linked documents.

Hi Scott,

When you are creating the Packager file it gives you a chance to add extra files.

Packager Steps:

1. Enter package name
2. Select design options
3. Gather design data
4. Select workspace options
5. Review selections
   • Displays the cumulative results of your selections thus far. In additional, several <generated> files are automatically created to document the package contents and provide configuration information for launching into the workspace. Unless you have a specific reason, you should not remove these files. Right-clicking a file provides additional functionality such as: toggle selection, selecting all, selecting and clearing a group, selecting and clearing a category, selecting and clearing a path, refresh, and extra files.
     
     Selecting Extra File opens the Add Extra File(s) dialog, which is used to add and additional files to the package. The files are added to ..\Workspace\Projects\<project name>\Extras.
6. Package options
7. Finish

Hi Ron,

Thanks, but it really needs to be an automatic thing. MicroStation stores the unc's to the attached files. It should automatically include them. Right-clicking is not an option simply 1. Because there are too many files to identify and 2. the person creating the archive is most likely not the individual that created the file and knows there even is a spreadsheet attached.

Kind Regards,
Scott
