OPEN ASSEMBLY SELECTION button DISAPPEARED IN SW 2015!?

Hi All,

what was for me a big new in 2014, now in 2015 has probably been deleted.

My question:

When I'm inside a big assembly (composed of many other assemblies) and I select one of them by clicking it, in 2014 the menu was very intelligent to propose if I want to open the touched part of the assembly or the assembly itself.

Now, as shown in my attachment, the menu does not offer this possibility but only "open part" or the new (and for my point of view "meaningless") open in position..

Does anyone knows if this "button/comand" is already available?

Many thanks

Cheers

Correct Answer

Here is a video from SW2015 SP 2.1. I would also suggest that right click and go to end of list to select customize. Then then male sure "select sub-assembly" is selected.

See the reply in context

No one else had this question

If you click on the assembly In the assembly feature tree you can chose open assembly there, not sure why it isn't available in the pop up menu.

Yes,

but only if I select directly the assembly on the feature manager.

This is not what I need, because sometimes you need to be faster and to use the very useless pop up menu without searching the part/assembly inside the feature manager.

Some of my assemlbies has tons of parts/assembly.

Many thanks for the feedback Greg

Lucio,

You can right click a part, choose "Select Sub-Assembly", then from the pop up menu you can select "Open Assembly".

Thank you Kevin for the feedback,

But in 2015 "select sub assembly" unfortunately is no longer available.

You need to right click a child part in the graphics area. Check example under Solution Id: S-063277 in SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.

Hi Deepak,

this is no longer available for 2015.

The post on the knowledge Base is old , from 2013 and speaks of a new tool for tthe SW2014

I have the 2015 revision, this tool is no longer available.

If you have the same revision, please forward to me a print screen with that possibility

Many thanks for feedback
