Automatic inclusion of all related drawing files (.idw/.dwg) in Pack & Go via PLM search

Automatic inclusion of all related drawing files (.idw/.dwg) in Pack & Go via PLM search

Currently, when using the "Pack & Go" feature from an Assembly (.iam) or a Part (.ipt), Inventor does not automatically search for and include all the associated drawing files (.idw / .dwg) unless they are strictly in the same folder or through complex project search paths. This often results in incomplete packages when sending files to suppliers or archiving projects, forcing users to rely on time-consuming manual workarounds.

I propose adding a dedicated, native checkbox in the Pack & Go dialog box called "Include all related drawings PLM Search".

Vault has a Pack-n-go tool.  Are you using a different PDM/PLM system?

Yes, we are currently using a different PLM system instead of Vault. Inventor already communicates quite well with third-party PLMs for daily workflows, it would be great if the native Pack & Go could do the same out-of-the-box, without needing extra tools.
