Preventing/saving the visibility of the components in the Isolated State

Preventing/saving the visibility of the components in the Isolated State

Preventing/saving the visibility of the components in the Isolated State

(OP)
I wonder if there is a simple way to approach my little problem.
below is a brief description of what I am doing and what I would like to achieve.

I need to add few new components to a very big assembly ( few conveyors assembly with supports and guides over them).
Components that need to be added will be inserted in a very small area of the whole assembly.

To make things easier, I use "Isolate" command, I hide everything that is irrelevant and only leave components where the new ones will be added.

Everything works great, I can even save the main assembly in the "Isolated" state.

The problem is then when I close the assembly and open it again, I have to do the hiding process using "Isolate" command again from scratch.

I was wondering if there is any fast and easy way for SW to "remember" what was hided in isolated state.

Haven't been in these forums for few years, nice to be back bigsmile

Cheers, AJ

Use a Display State to capture the hidden/shown condition.
