How to open subassemblies when traversing feature tree

How to open subassemblies when traversing feature tree

How to open subassemblies when traversing feature tree

(OP)
I'm traversing the feature tree looking for parts, because they're organised in folders. the problem i'm having is the fact that all folders contain an assembly. i can find assemblies, but can't get the parts they contain. if i have a variable (as feature) that is the assembly, how do i open the assembly and get the parts within?

RE: How to open subassemblies when traversing feature tree

You should be able to break open the folder and have full acess to everything in that folder.  If you want to open a sub-assembly in a SWx session just RMB open assembly.  If that'not what you're looking for please explain
