Delete imported and linked files from data panel

[Anonymous]

Once you have linked a file (1)  in another design (2). Then you save and go forward in your deign (2) you are in deep trouble to delete file(1).

It is very difficult to clean your data panel. Or is there an easy solution?

I think it is not so difficult, if you delete a design, to promt a message:

"This file is linked in :xxxxxxxxx, if you delete this file all links will be broken"

Resulting in a deleted file. AND

The design (2,x,x,x,x,x) wil have a fixed imported unlinked  file. No?

To maintain the integrity of older version it's important to keep the linked files. Following workarounds might help you:

• Always brake the links (but this means that updates in the source file are not populated anymore)
• You don't want to break links but you don't care about (all) older version, just "Save as" your destination design into a new file. Now you can delete the file with the history and than you can delete the source file.
