    multi-sheet pros and cons... please advise

    What are the pros and cons of multi-sheet? We do large assemblies of around 20-30 sub assemblies and around 1000 parts total. There are probably 100 details that need drawings. Is this a good idea to do multi sheet? What is the magical number and size of files to make this a cutoff point...

    Part Library Checked box

    Macro to delete all but active configuration

    If anybody has a macro that deletes unused configurations in part files I would greatly appreciate it. I would pay for it if it works as we would like it to. I would like to open up an assembly that has all my part files open and run it from there. We have a lot of parts such as shoulder...
