Displays selected files and files referenced by them. For assemblies, the list can include drawings, parts, subassemblies, and SOLIDWORKS Simulation files.
The related drawings can be in the current folder or in a folder elsewhere in the vault. By default, Enterprise PDM checks the entire vault for related drawings. The scope of the search depends on administrative settings.

| Warnings |

You can click the warning The file is not rebuilt to display a list of references that require a rebuild.
To quickly locate files with warnings or errors, use the Next Warning  and Previous Warning  toolbar buttons or Ctrl + the up-arrow or down-arrow on the numeric keypad. |
