We will have a large assembly that will consist of all the different parts in a particular area of a car. Might be the engine compartment, the front doors, or maybe the entire underbody.
Often we will be given updated assemblies, but not all parts are different. Some will be new revisions of the same part, some might be new parts all together, or many may still be the same exact part.
We will need to bring the new assembly in and compare it to the old and find which parts are new that affect our templates. Then update our drawings to match the new parts.
Is there some way to close all parts that are duplicates (same file name and revision) and leave open only the changed or new parts?
Is there a way to do the opposite? Close all the unique parts and leave open only the duplicates?
Note* -- This would have to ignore the assembly files and look at only the individual part files. This way if an assembly is revved up because only one or two parts changed, it will open or close those individual parts and not the assembly.

My brain is like a sponge. A sopping wet sponge. When I use it, I seem to lose more than I soak in.
