Subfolders in the FeatureManager Design Tree

In parts and assemblies, you can create subfolders in the FeatureManager design tree. You can use multiple layers of folders to organize long FeatureManager design trees.

To create a subfolder, select one or more items within a folder, right-click, and click Add to New Folder. You can drag additional items into the subfolder from any level in the tree.
As in previous releases, the software prevents actions that violate parent-child relationships.

To expand or collapse a folder and all its subfolders, right-click and click Expand All or Collapse All. To retain a subfolder's expanded or collapsed state when you expand or collapse its parent folder, right-click the parent folder and click Expand Item or Collapse Item.

Any command that can be applied to folders can be applied to subfolders. When you apply a command to a folder, it is applied to that folder’s subfolders as well. For example, when you suppress a folder, all items in the folder are suppressed, including its subfolders and the items they contain.
