Folders and Suppressed Components

The Assembly FeatureManager entries increase as components are inserted into the

Graphics window of an assembly. Folders reduce the length of the Assembly

FeatureManager in the part and assembly. Folders also organize groups of similar

components. Organize hardware in the assembly into folders.

Suppress features, parts and assemblies that are not displayed. During model rebuilding,

suppressed features and components are not calculated. This saves rebuilding time for

complex models. The names of the suppressed features and components are displayed in

light gray.

Create a folder in the FeatureManager named Hardware. Drag all individual bolts and

screws into the Hardware Folder. The DerivedLPatteml feature and the LocalLPatteml

feature cannot be dragged into a folder. Suppress the Hardware folder. Suppress the

DerivedLPatteml and LocalLPatteml feature.
