Good morning everyone!

Is there any hotkeys to go to main assebly, from any part or subassebly?. I mean I have open in Catia window with assembly, this assembly have got large tree structure and I work for example in one part. I need hotkey which lead me to main assembly. Normally I have to scroll all tree to up to main assembly and then double left click with mouse.

Recommended for you

one, (very good way imho), is to open up "Open Sub-tree", accessed by right click... you can have multiple sub-trees open, on any level...

The Collapse All command will collapse your tree. I use this often and set a hotkey for it.
This will allow you to scroll much quicker.

Thank You for answear. Function collapse all I have known. Sub tree is interesting Idea for that.
 
My Catia doesn't have "Sub tree".
I dragged it from "Customize", but it is not active in either CATPart or Product....
How could I make it active?

Thanks

Select the node on tree and then RMB.
You should then see an option to open subtree.
 
Thank you RickyT!
Still, I can't see the difference between the tree and the "Open Sub-Tree.........
What good could I get from this tool?

you can open up the tree in kompressed form as a sub-tree... and have it like that in that little window. no matter what you do with the "big" tree, the little one stays the same...
