Assembly Deactivate

[ejenner]

In a n assembly, I want to edit a part with all the rest visible. So I click 'Activate' and make my changes. I cannot find a way to 'deactivate' and go back to normal assembly mode, though. The only way I have found is to save everything, close creo completely, and reopen. How do I Deactivate?

Right click on the top level in the tree and select Activate again.

Is there a way to automate this action with a Mapkey?

I use quite often the "activate" in assembly, because I need to copy some parameters from Creo to SAP

Then I would like to be "back" the the main assembly with a keyboard command, instead of right click+deactivate

Thanks for help in advance

Hi,

i figured that out AFTER 40 min struggling finding a command called DEACTIVATE; which is what common sense would do... why CREO uses select the top assy and ACTIVATE it, is beyond my understanding
