This is getting even more interesting...

Fredo, this is absolutely marvellous, the best plugin after Fredoscale imho.
Just got my hands on, i'll definitely dig more on the next days.
Here's a first attempt on a project I'm currently working on:

Very, very promising

Again, my best congrats to you.

Amazing!
I guess it is only a matter of time that we'll be able to see full rendered animations on our real desktops.
Just imagine a videogame played like that!

Well-well, i didn't notice that!
Great work Thomas, as always!
Google people, I think you should PM the guy

Yes, it sounds perfect.
I'll try both options and see which is best for my work-flow.

Thank you again (for both helping and the plugin ;o) )

Thank you for the super-quick answer, Tig!
Indeed, it is not the same as the Acad xref function.
The fact is that I'll have to deal with several components, at least 100 of them in every single step, so the xref manager's list could be a problem BUT i guess it will occur rather rarely to use it, in that case it could be very handy, although tricky to use.
How can i enable that PC based option to reload all Skps automatically?
I'll give it a try to a dummy file to see how it works.

Hi all,

i have tho following question:
I am working on an instructions book for a complex machinery.
Being perfect for the purpose, I am using SU for all the steps of the assembling.
So I created a "master file" where i have the whole machinery completely assembled, and then i begin assembling it from scratch saving a separate SU file for each step.
The issue i am facing is this: some of the parts of this machinery may be modified while I'm still working on the instructions. Swapping the new parts in every file is out of the question, of course.
So i was thinking to save every single part as an external file and then import it as a component to every assembling file. When i update the "source" component, does this automatically updates all it's instances in the other files that it has been imported?
Is Tig's Xref manager the right plug-in for that?

Thank you

Jeez!
Great stuff, man!

You deserve the "SU Knight" gold medal, man!
