Check In *.idw's

I have a lot of idw's to check in (having just spent the last four daus creating them all) Is there a faster way than opening each file and checking it in?. This is taking forever................

Throw them all in a assembly and then check in Tree on the assembly.

VERY CAREFULLY use his "Beta: CheckIn-CheckOut All"
routine at the bottom of the page.  Manually copy the .idw files from your
workspace into your workgroup and then un-reserve all of the files.

 

You probably shouldn't do this if
you don't understand project files pretty well.

I'm assuming you are in semi-iso mode? In the future, when creating the .idw's,
save them to the Workgroup. It takes a second longer, but it will automatically
check them out to you.

Right just to Clear up any misunderstanding. My normal workflow is to create the drawing and save in my workgroup which I wish it would do by default because at least then I can put it in the folder required (i.e. I know where it is) I then go through and complete all the drawings for that assembly. Correcting any mistakes as I find them. At the end of this process I usually have a stack of Drawings in my workspace, What I want is a really fast way of checking them in, (and no one tell me to do it before I close The file Please)
