Copying documents out of Projectwise

Is there any way to drag and drop files out of projectwise to create a local copy? Any attempt to drag and drop only creates a shortcut link. I am aware of the ability to right click the files and either export or copy out, and then browsing the location I want to save the file to. However, I was hoping there was a simple drag and drop method to move files quickly to local folders or to add them as attachments in emails.

Thanks.

I agree with you and have requested this be added to PW Explorer several months ago. If a drag and drop INTO ProjectWise does an IMPORT, Why can't a drag and drop OUT of ProjectWise kick off the EXPORT…

Eric, there is no way to drag and drop files out of Projectwise. The intent is that you work on the documents within the Projectwise environment so that the documents are updated in one location or Single source of truth. You should be able to double click on a document to open it using the appropriate application, if your application integration is set up correctly to attach a PW document to an email, you should see a Projectwise tab on your email message, click on the tab and select attach Projectwise document or Projectwise URL.

Not sure how this software improves the project design process at all.
