2] Right hand mouse click to select your file.
3] One of the options that jumps up is "Open with Revision Manager". Select this option.
4] Your assembly and all its interlinked files will now be listed within "Revision Manager".

Select the interlinked files to be copied to a new directory...
5] Ensure that you see all the possible files by pressing the all "+" buttons on each inscription.
(Do not skip this step!!)
6] Select all your files.
7] Right click on the highlighted selections.
8] Select the "Set Action to Copy" option.
9] Right click again and select "Set the Path" - changing it to your temporary folder name.
10] Choose "Perform Actions" under the FILE button.

Using the directory...
11] take the temporary directory, zip it and send it on.
-FIN-

"Revision Manager" is a very powerful tool to make copies and fix broken links - without even opening SE.
It is even possible to use without you having your dongol / license activated.

The is other export possibilities, if you wish to make it a single file.
I assume you wish to send it as is, to who ever you send it to..

I finally got back to that assembly I had to get together and send - guess what? WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!

2 gold stars , no, make it 3 gold stars for William on this one. You saved me an entire weekend ( in the help )and opened my eyes to the revision manager.

What other neat little tricks is the revision manager good for?

I work for the most part alone and all the modeling I do is just for me in my shop. I dont have the need to use many of the functions that would be used in a large company or group, and as you all know, with so much to learn, if I dont have to, I wont spend the time to learn it.

Thank you very much
JK
