improved functionality for "update view".

[Mark_Wigan]

if we have for any reason, a dwf visualisation file that exists on the vault server that is no longer associated with a file then it needs to be deleted before the inventor / cad file is able to achieve a new "update view" task successfully. (we see the error "visualisation file cannot be created due to vaulting restrictions = non - unique visualisation file" )

the next thing then we need to do is go and delete this redundant vis file, and then go back and send the update view again.

i wonder whether it can be arranged to have a command such as "update view" with an additional choice for a user to select "delete redundant visualisation files / duplicates no longer attached" as part of the one process.

the ability to run mass delete tasks on certain visualisation files is limited to specific cases which make it time consuming to clean up the redundant files that cannot be found easily.

the idea for improved or extended functionality would be a big time saver to say the least.

thanks for your consideration.
