Hi "Mariusz",
Yes indeed, it's possible. Create a text file named search.pro. List all
folder paths and sub-folder paths where you keep ProE files therein, eg.
like this:
H:\Work\projekt\7031
H:\Work\projekt\7031\widgets
H:\Work\projekt\7031\hinges
H:\Work\projekt\7034
H:\Work\projekt\7037
H:\Work\projekt\7038
Insert as many lines as needed. I have about forty path lines in my
search.pro, I don't know if there's any limit for the number of lines in
this file.
In config.pro file insert line:
search_path_file search.pro
This line tells ProE where search.pro file is located. Above done, ProE will
be able to locate files stored in several folders. This is kind of a poor
man's intralink, it works great however.
You can put the search.pro file anywhere, insert folder path though if it's
not in the same folder as config.pro file (eg. search_path_file
D:\work\search.pro).

Search.pro will solve this problem. I was wondering does anyone know
how to make the search.pro files scan all subdirectories under the
folder? Could it be a config.pro issue I have looked and looked.
Example
x:/holder
x:/endmill
instead of
x:/holder/lathe
x:/holder/mill
x:/endmill/250
x:/endmill/325
x:/endmill/500
x:/endmill/625
Thanks

In config.pro file insert line:
search_path_file search.pro
Seach.pro is a convenience to keep from glutting your config.pro with a ton of |
path names. If you have only a few, they can just as easily be the option data for
a series of search_path statements in config.pro, so you could have search_path
H:\Work\projekt\7038. It merely requires, as does mapkey, a separate statement for
each of the path names.
A word of caution: the paths are searched not only for parts in an assembly but
for every new part created or part renamed. Since this search_path functionality
arose to substitute for a real data and configuration management system (like
Pro/PDM or Intralink or TeamCenter or iMAN), it took on entire directory
structures, trying to use system resources to be a CM system. Have you done a file
search on XP, starting from the root directory? Remember how long that took?
Pro/e, searching a complicated directory structure, is worse; it'll completely
hose your system, so be careful.
Sean, the type of search you're hoping for is available.... in Pro/LOCATE, a
simple find utility within Intralink. You need a better data management system
when you're making that kind of demand on it! (Oh, the pain! Oh, the anguish! when
you tell them they've got to cough up a couple grand.) It's peanuts and they
should embrace the 20th/21st century and quit making such an unseemly fuss about a
little money. Their triffling financial woes will not bring a twitch, an itch to
the US economy much less the end of Western Civilization. Tell them to quit being
so melodramatic and pony up.

Haven't tried it with search.pro, but UG will search sub-folders by using
.... at the end of the line.
c:\parts... will search c:\parts and all sub-folders (maybe
c:\parts\...).
