Dissolving multiple sub-assemblies

Dissolving multiple sub-assemblies

Dissolving multiple sub-assemblies

(OP)
Does anyone know how to dissolve multiple subassemblies within an assembly at one time?

Thanks in advanced!

RE: Dissolving multiple sub-assemblies

I think you should have a macro to do this: recoursively go down all the subassemblies untill the lowest level and then come up, in each level dissolve that level's subassemblies.

Regards

Thanks macPT, but I was hoping for a multi-select option instead of dissolving all of them.

RE: Dissolving multiple sub-assemblies

So I'm guessing CTRL-select does not work?

I was - and he did. So at least I didn't get coal.....
OK, OK, It's a reference to my holiday sig. "Be naughty - Save Santa a trip..."

RE: Dissolving multiple sub-assemblies

No...CTRL didn't work. It would just dissolve the first one on the list.

Congrats on avoiding the coal :)

RE: Dissolving multiple sub-assemblies

Figured that might be the case - some things let you,  like hiding.

Yup, I already have too much fire wood and we only have gas log fireplaces since we remodelled......
 
Heck, its half way through Jan 2004 - I should treat myself to a new sig!!

RE: Dissolving multiple sub-assemblies

No, I didn't think it could be done out of the box. Hopefully someone has something out there.
