Assembly Tree - Unstable behaviour |
|
|
I ofter re-organise my assembly tree order.
When I move a part to a new position in the tree, other parts and
assemblies (which I had contracted) expand spontaneously. this is quite
annoying as it caused me to loose sight of of what I was looking at.
It's very counter productive
Is this a normal behaviour or do I have a compatability issue?
Anyone else see this?

Unfortunately, I've found this behavior to be typical.

Oh, and did I mention that after contracting (un-expand) a branch then
subsequently rebuilding the model, the branch magically re-expands.
I waist more time hunting than reparing.
(It's the thrill of the chase then, is it?)
Sheesh that's a piss-me-off!!

Thanks for confirming that.
It is a bother isn't it

If sub items in a branch are expanded, and you collapse a top level
item above it, a rebuild will re-expand it. Solidworks has chimed in on
the their message board about the tree's erratic behaviour and asked
for all cases that we can find that causes it. They also said they
think they have all the issues fix for 2007 so I suggest looking at
what's posted there and see if you have a case that wasn't mentioned
and therefore they might not know about. |

Have your tried this?
Just prior to rebuilding and saving, go to the very top of the FeatureTree,
right click and "Collapse Items".

I've found it faster to group components into folders and then collapse
that folder. This way I can Collapse more than one component with a
single click. It sounds a bit stupid to have to do this, but I've
found it also makes it easier to find components if they are grouped in
a logical order. This is especially useful when trying to edit mates. |

Did you say 2007! Don't you mean they will fix it in the nth release
followed by the one after that.

Well according to them, the issues are already fixed in the development
version of 2007.
They also removed the behaviour where the tree sate was saved with each
configuration which really compounded the problem. |
