Opening many files at once

Opening many files at once

In file Explorer, or in a search result, I'd like to have the ability to open more than one file at a time. 

At least, let me create multiple shortcuts, to open it faster from Inventor.

Hello @limin.chung Thank you to reusing the behavior described.

To answer your questions:

1) Yes. It is sufficient.

3) No, the inability to view all selected filenames (limited to 3-5 names)  in the dialog is not a problem for me.
Thank you.

Sure inventor has a way to open more than one file but what if i'm using anything else besides inventor? like Microsoft office products, if we have a file manager then it makes no sense that we can't open multiple files at once. Why would this function not be default? If "you can open multiple files from inventor" is the reason Vault doesn't have this functionality then why can you open files in Vault at all, if "you can just open them from an entirely separate software?"

 

It is illogical to have to open up a new application when vault should have the capability to do so.

@jphalter Vault supports open Multiple files. Did you tried that already? Please see: https://help.autodesk.com/view/VAULT/2026/ENU/?guid=WN-workflow-2026_2

Which Vault version are you using?
