Alternative to an assembly? Grouping parts??
Alternative to an assembly? Grouping parts??
(OP)
I have an assembly that contains a number of parts and disctete assemblies.Some of the separate parts are not specifically related but to clarify the screen view I often have to 'hide' some of the parts. My question is this: is it possible to group a number of selected parts so that I can make them visible or not with a single click? I don't want to make them an assembly because they are not related. In any case, if they were an assembly, modifying them in the top assembly would be more tedious.
Is this a use for configurations? I have real problems with those!

Isolate the items you want shown, and save that display!
This won't affect your BOMs, configs, assemblies, sub-assemblies, or anything. It's only a display state.
After it's saved, in the Config/ Display tab, click on the one you want shown.
