Has the behavior of this command changed? We are using WF4, changed for WF2 a few months ago (no PDM). I just had a user delete a drawing drawing using File/Delete/All Versions. It comes up with a message that it is going to delete all versions of the drawing AND THE SELECTED ASSOCIATED OBJECT(S) from disk and session with a Yes / No option. It does not give a list or highlight what the SELECTED ASSOCIATED OBJECT(S) may be. It turns out that picking yes deleted the drawing, it's models and the drawing format.

Now I would expect it to delete the drawing. I can see it deleting the model but I would at least expect it to list all the models but I didn't expect it to delete the drawing format. I don't think it used to delete the format, I have no idea why you would want to do that.

How can you delete all instances of a drawing and keep the model and or format through the Pro/E commands? I never delete all through Pro/E, I use Windoze explorer instead. Still seems like a bad command structure for delete all to delete anything but the active object.

The Help for this program was created in Windows Help format, which depends on a feature that isn't included in this version of Windows.
