Select pattern or folder in drawing browser

[petrxn]

Will be very helpful if could be possible to select whole pattern or folder in browser in drawing environment. We often need to switch visibility or hidden lines of group of elements and there is necessary to select each element only.

In my assembly, I tend to organize parts into folders (like booth panels, grating, structural steel, etc). I have several component patterns that get automatically grouped together (like bolt patterns).

In the assembly environment, you can toggle visibility of entire folders or component patterns.

In the drawing environment, you have to expand all children and either individually toggle visibility or highlight multiple and toggle them all at once.

Is there a reason that the drawing environment won't let you toggle the entire folder or component pattern at once like the assembly environment can? It is a royal pain when you have a large component pattern to expand everything to select it all.

This was a great idea back in 2013 when Petr first posted and it still is a good idea.  When will this be implemented!?
