if any one has access to the developers here is a wish list coming from a
former Solid Works guy. These options are wonderful.
1. Select a feature
in the model and right click and then select "go to feature in tree". A very
helpful options when dealing with huge feature trees.
2. Select a feature and right click and select "show parent/child
relations". Another extreamly helpful option. Especially when trying to solve
errors. Make sure it functions like the latest SW and you can use the wish #1
I mentioned above with this freature. Earler versions of SW could only show
the parent/child relation but now you can select a child who is associated and
then "go to the feature in tree". The next thing you know you have scrolled
all the way up or down your tree.
It's just a really efficient way to work when dealing with large models
that have hundreds of features. My last downhole tool in SW was 60meg and had
18 different configurations for manufacturing. It also had hundreds features
in the tree. It's hard to live without the same functionality when making the
same models in Inventor.
