When you right-click in the window displaying the files and directories to be processed, you access a contextual menu allowing a number of actions.


 


Some of these actions may be grayed out when no selections are already present.

Save the list - Allows you to store a list of selected files and directories in an external file. This list can be reloaded in another myCADtools utility to perform another task on this same list.

Create a favorite - Allows you to save, in an external file, the list of selected files and directories. This list can be added to a selection.

Open a saved list - Allows you to reload a list of files and directories that you have previously saved. This avoids, for each utility, to manually select the same selections. If selections are already present in the window, they will be replaced by the imported list.

Add a favorite - Allows you to add a previously saved list to the selection already present in the window. It is possible to add several favorites to complete the selection. This list of favorites will be seen as a folder in the list.

Add a CSV file containing a list of files - Allows you to add a list of files that may have been created by a third party. This file will be in CSV format.

Recent files - Allows access to previously used favorite files (10 max).

Manage columns - Allows you to customize the display of the list.

 

We can thus :

  • Delete a column, only if it is enabled. Note that the column "Name" cannot be deleted (grayed out).
  • Add a column by clicking on the button .
  • The default number (100) can be changed . This size can be changed automatically by adjusting the column in the list with the mouse.

 

  • Only columns added by the user can be deleted. Select the name and click on .

View the complete list of files - Lists all the files in the list through a text file.

Breakdown (folder, favorite, csv)   - Allows you to decompress and display "flat" all the files included in the inserted favorites and selected directories.

Open an explorer - Opens a Windows Explorer to drag files and directories into the list.

Inserting drawings of selected documents - Automatically attach drawings of selected parts and assemblies to the list.

Overview - Allows, when the right click is made on a file, to open a window in which a preview of the file is visible.

Properties - Allows, when the right click is made on a file, to open the Windows properties window of this file.

Options - Allows you to access the options window for selection according to certain criteria.
