Isollate component in assembly and reveal hidden components 1

[CameronKennedy]

Hello everyone

I am a newcomer both here and to using Catia.

I have started at Culham Centre for Fusion energy which is home to JET, the Joint European Torus experimental fusion reactor and also working on ITER, the next generation experimental fusion reactor at Cadarche in France.

I have extensive experience in SolidWorks (SW) and hope to "convert" my SolidWorks skills to Catia.

Consequently there are functions that I have found very useful in Solidworks that I hope to find an equivalent in Catia.

The first function is the SolidWorks tool "Isolate" . In an SW assembly I could select a component of interest, right click and select "Isolate". The component would then be visible with all other components hidden. An Icon would be visible on the screen that if selected would exit the "Isolate" and revert to the original display state.

The second function is the SolidWorks "Show with dependant" tool which would reveal any hidden components within an assembly at a single click.

Very much appreciate any suggestions you might have........

Cameron

When I need to inspect only one component, I open it in its own window. If it has been designed in context of the assembly, the contextual links will still be good.
(RMB on object and pick ”objectNameHere”.object>Open in New Window)

As for the 'show all hidden items' question, you can script a solution to this.
Also, you can enter "visibility:hidden" in the Power Input box to find all hidden items. Then press the Hide/Show command to show them.
