Hi Elen,
I don't think you're able to write a macro to open multiple files in Magics
RP. I'd go with holding down the SHIFT button and selecting all the files
with the mouse.
A question....can your computer handle opening such a large quantity of
files at one single time (Order of thousands!!)? The one that i'm using here
takes forever to load more than 20 files at a time, depending on the size of
the file. I tried loading an entire car bumper CAD file in Magics once, and
spent more than half the working time waiting for the display to refresh!!
That was terribly tedious and time-wasting. Now, i try to load fewer files
at a time and modify them appropriately before loading the rest...It takes
longer, but you don't stare at a blank screen and wait forever for something
to happen....
Anyway, hope that you'll find a better solution.
