Customise or filter Plot manager columns

VahidKR3VG — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 01:03:50 GMT

I am trying to print all drawings that have part numbers starting with GA or SA.

In the batch plot manager how do can I add columns so that I can exclude out files that I don.t need?

Almost every other window in Vault has the ability to customize columns except this one.

You cannot add columns to the Plot Manager.

The best thing to do is search for the files in the main grid and plot from that search result.

Searching the files from the main grid and filtering will not work in my use case.

I need to print the drawings of few hundred top level assemblies and their sub-assemblies, sub-sub assemblies. I cannot afford to miss any of the drawings. Printing all drawings including weldments and parts would be a waste of paper which could go into thousands in total.

The part numbers for the assemblies begin with GA and SA. So having a simple filter would save so much time.

I was hoping to select a top level assembly, get all related drawings and filter out drawings not starting with GA and SA like in the main grid.

why is the option to add or customise columns not available?

@VahidKR3VG :

We have a tool to collect all associated drawings of an assembly and its components. Maybe your vendor has something similar?
