How to suppress Large numbers of components

How to suppress Large numbers of components

How to suppress Large numbers of components

(OP)
I am working with a relatively large assembly model (>200 components). I am wondering if there is a quick way to select two components and suppress all other components. I see there is an isolate command, but that does not suppress the other components.
I know you can select components from the list and then either click suppress or enabled. This is flawed somewhat because I cannot just select the whole list from top to bottom and suppress all.
I need to do this because I want to work with a sub-section of the model in ANSYS.

RE: How to suppress Large numbers of components

Change your level of detail to "All Components Suppressed" and then un-suppress the two you want available.

You can also shift + select and Control + select for multiple selections.
