Assembly Browser Reference

Allows you to show and hide selected components, filters contents, manage access to editing, and use alternate access to functions in the context menu.

Access

In an assembly file, click item to select, then right-click to display the context menu.

Filters

In Assembly and Model environments, options reduce the volume of information presented in the browser. Use the following to eliminate the display of selected types of information. Deselect the check mark to cancel the selection.

• Hide UCS turns the display of User Coordinate Systems off or on.
• Hide Work Features turns the display of all work features and the Origin folder off or on.
• Show Children Only turns the display of nested components and subassemblies on and off. This option is not available when the Part environment is active (when you edit or create a part in place).
• Hide Notes turns the display of notes off or on.
• Hide Warnings turns warnings attached to constraints in the browser off or on. Hide Warnings does not hide failures.
• Hide Documents turns embedded documents off or on.
• Show Extended Names turns the display of extended information for part features on or off.

Browser views turns the nesting of relationships below the components off or on. Use Model View to remove the relationship nesting below components and display the part features. Express View displays the assembly in Express mode and not all model information is loaded. Select Load Full in the ribbon to enable full-browser functionality.

Note: Create folders to organize the browser nodes into groups or to communicate design intent.

Find opens a search box enabling you to locate objects matching your search criteria. Use Find to locate sick relationships, suppressed components or features, sketch parameter names or values, or other combinations of criteria you select.

Relationships display a sequential list of all joints and constraints in the assembly.

Representations provide access to View, Position, and Level of Detail representations. Select to define or retrieve a representation.

Context menu options perform actions on contents of the representations folder.

Tip: Select All Visible in the active view menu to restore an Isolate Components operation to full view.

Context menu options

The context menu (right click) presents operations on the selected component, feature, or relationship in the browser. Depending on the browser configuration and the selected item, some or all options are available.

The context menu and viewing options are available when you right-click an item in the graphics window or in the browser.
