Clear the "recent" sheet sets fly-out menu

[.T.]

Because of:

from Beau Turner at the Adesk forums:
~snip~
It is technically possible to tweak this using VB/Lisp
provided you parse the file and remove the values but this must be done
without AutoCAD/ADT running as the file is stored in memory when AutoCAD/ADT
is running and is written back when exiting.~snip~

I think this would have to be accomplished prior to firing Autocad. One thought I had was to edit a copy of fixedprofile.aws and save it as, say, fixedprofile.bak, then write a batch file to launch AutoCAD that would copy the .bak file over fixedprofile.aws.

This could cause problems with other settings, though, because when the file is replaced, it also replaces any other changes. You would have to remember to copy fixedprofile.aws to the .bak and remove the information again. It kind of seems like a maintenance nightmare.

Maybe there is a VBA solution, instead? I don't know enough about it to attempt something like this. Maybe this thread should be moved to the VBA forum or something for their input.

My "recent files" list in SSM just gets longer and longer, but seems to add a new file only when it feels like it. Autodesk, what is going on here?

I didn't clear the entire list, but while I was playing with SSM, I added one with a really long file name, and it was screwing me up when using the recent selection. I really don't remember why. I did however manage to remove it from the list. I also used this to rename a .dst file in the recent list. Although there should be an option at the bottom of the recent list to clear all or right click on an individual one and choose remove.

move/delete/rename the .dst file
(not sure if it matters, but I didn't have the dst file open in the SSM at this point)

use the recent list to try to open it and you should get (or at least I do):
Sheet Set Manager Error
Cannot find the specified file.
Please verify that the file exists.
