We'd like to checkout what we are choosing to checkout and not see all the dozens of "BLUE" drawings (possibly circular references) as a choice. This global option is not an easy one to locate and We're looking to shut it off pronto. P L E A S E HELP!!!!

Hi Mac,

In the admin tool, expand the File Types node, RMB on the slddrw node, clear 'Show this type as "sub-parent" (drawing)'

Cheers,
Joy

  Any idea how to do this in EPDM 2011? This option is no longer available.

    @Amos:
    
    Came across this in the Solidworks Help File:
    
    This functionality replaces two options on the File Type Properties dialog box in previous versions of Enterprise PDM:
    
    Do not show "sub-parents" for this file type
    
    Show this file type as a "sub-parent" (drawing)

    Hi Amos,
    
    You would just leave the list of file extensions at the bottom of the dialog blank.
    
    Cheers,
    Joy
