Selecting Frame Generator Members In Browser vs. On Screen

I commonly need to select frame generator members to change visibility, etc. but since they are all contained in a single frame I need to do this in the browser. This can be difficult because I need to zoom in on the screen while having the section of the browser visible on screen at the same time. Is there a way that I can individually select each member in the assembly without using the browser?

Set your selection Filter to Part Priority.
Also - it looks to me like you have a lot of repeated dimensions - I prefer to use equal (=) constraints instead.
You can window or crossing window select and hit = on the keyboard.

Thanks. When you say repeated dimensions are you referring to the top area where the grill bars are located? I use a formula here (49.438) driven dimension then reference each space divided by the number required.
How would I use the equal constraint? Highlight select and then hit = I'll try it. Thanks.

I generally have zero dulpicated dimensions unless there is a chance that I know a couple of dimensions might need to be edited independently as the design changes.
You also have a bunch of 90° dimensions rather than Perpendicular constraints.
