I have a very large assembly that I've imported. The number of components makes scrolling up and down the tree very time consuming. I eventually want to break this up into sub-assemblies, but first i want to isolate components into separate folders. I can do this by dragging parts in the tree, but then I have to look at the screen, see what part I've selected to decide which folder it goes in.
Can I select a part on screen and put it directly into a folder without having to find it in the tree?
Using 2013.
Bill,
Yes,
LMB and drag a window from right to left selects everything the window crosses,
LMB and drag a window from left to right selects only complete items,
Then in the feature tree the items will be highlighted, hold Ctrl, RMB, and select add to folder about 3/4 the way down, name your folder, then I hide everything in the folder.
I can sort through a 500 item assembly in around 15 minutes.
As long as this is an assembly it works well.
