Folders in the tree
- [Instructor] Creating folders in your feature manager is a great way to keep yourself organized, and it's also a great way to group individual features that are all related. If we're using assemblies, we can also create folders in an assembly view and group similar parts all together in a folder. It makes it easy to find them and easy to work with them, and in fact, we can suppress and unsuppress an entire folder at a time to make it really easy to use or hide those parts. Let me show you how it works. Over here on my left-hand side here, I can see I'm in my feature manager, and I want to create a folder. Right-click on any one of the features, come down here and say "create new folder." All right. There's my folder. I can name it whatever I'd like. I'm going to say HOLES. All right. There it is. And now I can just drag any one of these features into that folder. There he is. So now inside of that folder is that…
