View assembly structure in workspace

[scleary]

Is there are way that I can change the "view settings" of the workspace so I can see the assembly structure of the assemblies in a workspace?

At the moment when I add a well organized .ASM file to a workspace, the default view of the workspace in windchill is an unordered blob of parts, drawings and assemblies that bears no resemblance to the design intent of the .ASM file giving no indication of what parts are associated with which assembly. As you can imagine, the problem compounds if you have multiple assemblies within 1 workspace.

Any thoughts welcome

Don't think this is possible i the current Windchill.

However, this is a great enhansment request for future versions.

This would also probably improve workspace refresh performance.

(You dont need to display/refresh sub items unless the upper level item is exploded)

Please open an enhancement for this as it's not currently possible.

Im sorry, this is only my 2nd post so i don't know how to open an enhancement.

Can you direct me to the enhancement location please and I will get it sorted?

Hi Sean,

The info on how to do this may be found here:

Essentially, you just need to submit an Idea in the PTC Community so it can be evaluated by Product Management as well as other Windchill peers.
