Invert Selection in Assembly

Invert Selection in Assembly

Invert Selection in Assembly

(OP)
Is there an 'invert selection' option in Assembly Navigator? i.e if I want to hide everything apart from one instance, can I select the one instance, select a magic invert button and hide everything else? I can see an option for it under command finder but it says that its only available in Routing.

Thanks in Advance
Eoin

Edit - Show and Hide - Hide

Set the selection filter to Component

Pick the component you want to keep shown

Select Invert Selection - click OK

Only the selected component should be displayed

Thanks! - Now if we could just get them to move it to the assembly navigator, so that there would be an option to do it under the right mouse button that would be great!

And in the midst of checking this out I found the 'Show only' option. If you select the components you want to keep either in the navigator or on the screen then do a RMB and show only (show and hide then show only in Navigator) and it keeps just the selected components.
