Grab the bar at the top of the lower FM and drag it to the top.

Read Help > Index section for split

Shift+C is the default "Collapse all items" shortcut.

I don't remember when that command showed up, but I know it's there in 2007.

RE: Can you assign command to collapse items on featuremanager?

CBL,

Big thanks for the Shift+C!!!  One of these days I should get around to digging into some stuff like that to figure how much time I could be saving with hotkeys, etc.

Now if I can only remember how to collapse the feature tree when I get back in tomorrow...

RE: Can you assign command to collapse items on featuremanager?

Yep, I know it keeps coming back :(  That's why I assigned a keyboard shortcut to the split feature manager macro.

RE: Can you assign command to collapse items on featuremanager?

When does it re-appear? What operations are you performing?

I only get a split manager when accessing the config manager in an assy, and the Display States appears.

cheers

RE: Can you assign command to collapse items on featuremanager?

There's only one instance I can reproduce occasionally.  If you right-click a component and select View Mates.  It splits the FM and often times forgets to unsplit when you're done.
