Vault Batch Plot - Duplicate Files

I'm curious is anyone knows a workaround for this.

 

If you create a batch plot in Vault, and use the "Find Related" options, the following will occur:

 

If you pick a single parent file:

  • All children files are added
  • If the same child drawing is used multiple times, it is only added ONCE

If you pick multiple parent files:

  • All children files are added
  • If the same child drawing is used multiple time, it is added multiple times

Of course, when there are duplicates they will indeed print each time they are listed, meaning that if the same part is used within every parent file I selected, it will be printed once for each time it shows up.

 

I am aware that I can select drawings and Exclude them.

 

Any other ideas on what could be done here? Any one actually use the Vault batch plot feature more than once a week? Haha!

 

Thanks for your help!
