Opening multiple files at once.

Is there any way to open more than one file at once in Inventor?
I'm using V10 and can't highlight more than one file at a time when I'm in the Inventor "Open File" window. Anyone know how to fix this?

Use window explorer, select as many files as you want, RMB -> open.

I realize I can use Window's Explorer but if I grab several files through explorer, it bogs down my machine and sometimes comes up with a "Memory" error message. Thanks for the reply, though.

Through Inventor, NO, you can't do it

Vegan,
I know this is slightly different from what you're asking, but
you can open multiple files without closing file-open-dialog
by drag&dropping a file (see the attached img)
Hope this helps,

I have also found that if you open the "open file" dialog in inventor, right click on a file and click open. Do this for every file you want to open, then click the open button and they will all open. Pretty slick, I wonder if it was designed to work like this?
