Sow/Hide components

Sow/Hide components

Sow/Hide components

(OP)
I have a large assembly and I hid several of its components by selcting the individual components and selecting "Hide Component". Some of these components are inside other sub-assemblies. Now I want to show all the components the final assembly has. I have forgotten which components I hid and a lot of them are inside other sub-assemblies. Is there a simple way to show all the components in a given assembly instead of having to find all the hidden components and showing them individually?

Thanks to all the readers

RE: Sow/Hide components

Yes ... Highlight the top level assy (first item in the Feature Manager tree) then select Edit > Show with dependants then select your choice of configurations.

RE: Sow/Hide components

adymech1,

   I hope you have learned never ever to hike components by clicking on them in the graphics window.  Always hide using the assembly browser.

   I am not aware of anything, other than searching down through the assembly browsers's tree.  It will teach you not to do this again.  :)
