I was wondering if there was an un hide all command. I went looking for one but never found one. I have an assembly that has alot of parts in it, I have three others working on this project with me and its a pain to go through all of the sub assemblies and parts to see whats hidden and not.

RE: unhide all

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, you can right click on the assembly icon at the very top of the tree and select "Show All".

Hope that helps.

RE: unhide all

RMB on the top assembly feature in the tree and click show with dependents.  This will show all parts in any sub assemblies that are resolved.  It will ignore any suppressed features.

Try this: In the model tree of your assembly, right mouse click, the very top model, then pick show.

That kind of works. For some reason it does not show all (ie. purts within a subassemblly). I have tried this then rebuild and not all of the parts are showing back up.

thanks for all the help. I will write if I cant find any
thing.

RE: unhide all

You should not need any macros. Try this:
Click on the file name in the very top of the tree. Make sure it is highlighted. Then click on "Edit" in the very top of your window. In the list you will see "Show" or "Show with dependants". I always use the second. This way all hidden parts is the sub assemblies will become un- hidden

RE: unhide all

btcoutermash,
Thank you for showing us the “Show with dependants" button. A star for you.
