    FeatureManager Search and Component Display options

    Currently I have an assembly. I am using the FeatureManager search with "Filter Graphics View" checked. However, what do I do if I want a subassembly to stay there no matter what I type? So, any ideas on how to do this? Thanks

    General configuration and assemby help

    You are correct, it does not provide this feature. I was thinking of using tags for this, but if you think writing a macro is a better option, then I ask for your help.

    General configuration and assemby help

    Thank you, but since the time I wrote this thread, I discovered that this can be done with the Property Tab Manager (I think that's what it's called).

    General configuration and assemby help

    I was thinking something more along the lines of getting the information from clicking on the model itself, so all of the data would be easier to visualize. Basically the assembly is a large room of servers that are different configurations with custom properties. So primarily, I want have it...

    Advanced Component Selection issues

    I am making a model of a room of servers. I have the servers all of the servers as different configurations of the same server, so that I can define custom properties (like the client that uses that server). Also, they are derived components of the default part. Now I want to be able to make...

    Need an AutoCAD recommendation

    Thanks for the help. That's exactly what I was thinking, just wanted to get second (and third) opinions on it.

    Need an AutoCAD recommendation

    Sorry for the double post, just wanted to clear some things up. Firstly, I meant CAD instead of AutoCAD. Don't know how that one slipped up. Basically asking if you feel that SolidWorks is appropriate for this task, or if you know of something better suited for it.

    Need an AutoCAD recommendation

    I hope this is the right place to have posted this. Anyway, the company I work for does not have any sort of AutoCAD or 3-D modeling license. The primary usage for this would be to effectively recreate a very expansive room of servers to both have a three dimensional model to use at...
