I have an assembly of over 1000 components that was read in from an NX system. I need to organize all of these components into multiple folders so I can easily hide and unhide components so we can only see certain areas of the assembly. The components are not grouped together in the assembly tree in any specific order, so I can't just select a group of them from the tree and add them to a new folder. Does anyone know of any tricks to move multiple components without dragging each one individually to folders? It would be really nice if I could right click on a component or group of components and tell Solidworks to move all to an already named folder.
If you've already created your folders, you can CTRL-select a bunch of parts and drag them all to a folder at once, just like in Windows Explorer.
Alternately, you can CTRL-select your parts, RMB on the last one, and select "Add to new folder".
