Hey all.
Just changed jobs and went from NX6.0/NX7.5 to SolidWorks 2011. My new coworker has mostly got me set up, but even he doesn't know why the following is happening... My goal is to pack all of the instances of the same component to get a nicer looking tree. I was told that folders are a good way of doing this. So...
First I open up an assembly.
Next I right click the top assy in the design tree and select "Create New Folder". I get the below message every time.
"Cannot find a feature. Select feature(s) in the FeatureManager design tree and try again."
I've tried some obvious things, like selecting multiple parts that I want to add to a folder and right clicking, but nothing has worked so far.
In NX all I had to do was right click on the column bar and say "Pack All" if I didn't wanna see 400 rivets individually in my assembly tree. What's the deal?
Thanks for reading and for the assistance.
