Sow/Hide components 1

I have a large assembly and I hid several of its components by selcting the individual components and selecting "Hide Component". Some of these components are inside other sub-assemblies. Now I want to show all the components the final assembly has. I have forgotten which components I hid and a lot of them are inside other sub-assemblies. Is there a simple way to show all the components in a given assembly instead of having to find all the hidden components and showing them individually?

Thanks to all the readers

Yes ... Highlight the top level assy (first item in the Feature Manager tree) then select Edit > Show with dependants then select your choice of configurations.

adymech1,

I hope you have learned never ever to hike components by clicking on them in the graphics window. Always hide using the assembly browser.

I am not aware of anything, other than searching down through the assembly browsers's tree. It will teach you not to do this again. :)
