Seems like I remember that when you have components in an assembly file, that when you look at the structure in
Assembly Navigator window, you could click on the plus symbol next to the component name and the component structure would
be there to access geometry or whatever, when you made the component the work part, of course.

Am I mis-remembering this functionality? Is this a setting somewhere that I need to turn on to see the part structure in the
Assembly Navigator window?

The part structure (feature tree) shows up in the part navigator, not the assembly navigator. Working in the context of an assembly, you can make a component the work part, then switch to the part navigator to see the features.

I think he is mixing things up indeed.
However, if you have your part navigator NOT showing timestamp order you also get the "packed" view of your features...

-This is not NX, it's a CAD system named ........

You can have both the Assembly navigator and the Part Navigator open at the same time, ( if you un-dock one of them )
It will provide an equivalent functionality.
