Open a CATPart from CATProduct Spec
Open a CATPart from CATProduct Spec
(OP)
When loading a CATProduct the spec and geometry include all the parts.
Now, I want to select from the spec (or geometry) a single part (or sub-assembly) and open it in a new window so that I won't have to open it with the Open... function.
I want to isolate the part from the rest of the assembly without using hide/show.
Thanks,
Benny

Use the desk (File - Desk) when the product is loaded this will show the file structure for the product. Right clicking on a node gives a context menu from which you can open a child file.
I hope this is what you want.

Thanks for your answer.

At this time there is no way of opening a part up by
selecting it in the assembly spec tree.
I have heard through the grapevine that this option will
be in V5 Rel.11
For the time being you can either use the DESK option or EDIT LINKS.

One option is to hide the "unnecessary" parts but it's not easy to handle that and the entire spec tree is still shown.
One important reason is when you receive an large assembly from a supplier/custoemr and investigate it....
