Activating the Assembly Visualization Tool

To activate the Assembly Visualization tool:

  1. Open install_dir\samples\whatsnew\assemblies\visualize\food_processor.sldasm.
  2. Click Assembly Visualization (Tools toolbar or Evaluate tab on the CommandManager).

    The Assembly Visualization tab in the FeatureManager design tree panel contains a list of all components in the assembly, sorted initially by file name.

    You can click to change the appearance of the list.
    / Flat/Nested View Switches between:
    • Nested view, where subassemblies are indented
    • Flat view, where subassembly structures are ignored (similar to a parts-only BOM)
    / Show/Hide Value Bars Turns the value bars off and on. When the value bars are on, the longest bar is applied to the component with the highest value. The lengths of all the other bars are calculated as a percentage of the highest value.
    Icons in the list indicate the following:
    Part Subassembly Description
    A component with a single instance.
    A component with multiple instances, all of which are shown.

    For a complete list of possible icons, see SolidWorks Help: Assembly Visualization Tab.
