Shortcut from one ProjectWise folder to another?

Hello,

Is it possible to create a shortcut in PWE that links to another PWE folder/file?

For Example:  Say I have important files in various PW folders and I would like to make a folder called "Important Files" and create links to all those folders.

Thanks,

Tom F.

PWE 8.11.11.574

  • Bumping this up and attempting to create a PW "Folder" shortcut within another PW folder.

    Using PW Explorer 10.00.02.96, and a WSDOT Tech Note reference simply states to drag out Directory from source onto Desktop, then go to PW directory where to place shortcut and drag into.  I get the .LNK and properties clearly show the referenced directory.  Yet, double clicking never changes / launches to referenced directory, and just shows opening dialog, yet loops back and just opens the "Check-In" dialog to Check-in, Free, etc.

    In addition, don't receive the "Document Creation Wizard" that the WSDOT pdf refers to: https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/publications/fulltext/design/cae/TechNotes/PW_CreatingShortcuts.pdf

    Dependency Viewer shows .LNK and clearly I'm missing something so simply.  Very new to PW environment, and would really appreciate assistance.

    Thank you, in advance !!
