AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

Attached is a zip file with a standalone program to aid in cleaning up the Recent Documents list for all flavors of AutoCAD, 2009-2013.

It's pretty self explanatory, just be sure to run it with no sessions of AutoCAD, or vertical products, running. It should refuse to run if it sees any Acad.exe application in the running tasks list. Once the dialog opens it will show you all of the Autocad related products you have installed, select one and it will fill in the first list of recent documents. Then select a profile for that product and the second list will populate with the SSM related recent documents saved for that profile. You can then select any item from either list, if the same DST filename exists in both lists it will automatically select them both. Use the standard selection methods to select more than one (shift-click, control-click, window).

Be sure to Unblock, if needed, the zip file before extracting the exe file. (Check the file properties)

Works as advertised. Thanks for sharing.

Now that it's clean, I'll can keep an eye on how it adds and tracks recent dwg and dst files.

I'm glad a few of you have found it useful!

Is this just a one-time cleanup tool or does it also prevent new additions to the list?

Thanks.

[#7]

It does not prevent them from being added. Run it as often as you like to cleanup the list(s).

[#8]

Very cool, thanks!
