Show/Hide in 2004 1

[btcoutermash]

When you hide a part in a large assy and want to later on go back and show it, does anyone know how to do this easily? I wind up digging through till I find it. Would anyone have a macro that would show all hidden parts??

You could create a "temp or working" configuration before you begin hiding parts. Then you can go back to your original configuration at any time and all the parts will be visible.

I have not tried this yet, but it sounds like it is what you want.

Select the top most member of the feature tree (it will be the assembly name that you are working in). The got to Edit/Show with Dependents/This Configuration. This will "Show All" components.

There's also a visibility macro that you may be interested in at:

...but it costs $10.
