How to get WF3 to forget it opened a part

I've got parts in different directories with the same name. This generally happens when I'm developing something, and exploring different options. The problem is, if I've opened one of the parts during a session, and I close it, and try to open another of them in a different directory, the program won't permit it, it wants to rename them. I end up having to shutdown ProEngineer, and restart it.


How to clear out all these part names stored in memory?

File -> erase -> not displayed


Pro|E keeps closed files 'in memory', what's called 'in session', until you tell it to erase them from session.

I see... Thanks!


I'm off to the WF 3 introductory class next week. Hopefully it will resolve a lot of these questions.

This applies to all releases of Pro/E since day one.
