To have the option to "show all" hidden parts in an assembly. With large assemblies is difficult to find the hidden parts to show them.
At the root of the browser there is an option when you right mouse click to "Show all components."
Will that work?
Can you provide some information as to what OS and what version of Fusion 360 you are running ?
This works fine for me on Mac OSX with Fusion 360 2.0.1403.
Another workaround is to take advantage of a conceptual flaw in how the isolate/unisolate function currntly works. Just isolate and then unisolate a part. Unisolate unhides everything.
Are you selecting geometry in the viewport and then rightclick and select show/hide to hide your "stuff " ?
I used "stuff" and avoided the term "component". If thats how you are hiding things, you are not hiding the components, but the bodies in the components. Show all components turns on hidden components, but not hidden bodies in components.
Here's a little screencast explaining it
What format you import really does not matter. I've imported many step files into Fusion 360 and have had no problems hiding and unhiding them.
Did you watch my screencast ? It should answer your questions.
And here again we have a dead thread on a very important feature that's missing...
Not sure what you are talking about . You can hide show all compntents in a design.
I have raised this as an issue with our user experience manager. Clearly it is very easy to hide a body whether that was your intent or not, and not so easy to unhide it afterwards. Of course there are ways to avoid the issue, but it seems like we could change the product to avoid the need for workarounds.
Perhaps 'Show All Components' could be changed to 'Show All Components/Bodies'. Do any users have a point of view on whether that would be a bad thing?
For me that would be a perfect solution, don't know about other users?
I think it should work the same way like Inventor's hide / show all because it can get a very confusing when you hide something by clicking on the body in the drawing instead of the component in the browser, and then afterwards try to unhide it, resulting in a lot of wasted time by searching the tree for the specific body.
Thanks!
Fairly simple, there's a right-click menu that contains hide, hide others (=isolate) and show all... 🙂
Yes, but as far as I know inventor does not separate between bodies and components, so I fail to see how that would address you concern by accidentally hiding a body instead of a component.
That's why there should be no difference between bodies and components when hiding, isolating, unhiding...
I think the most trouble comes from the fact that you can click on a body to hide it (in drawing, not browser), because there simply is no command to show all bodies...
The " possible solutions are a) make it impossible to hide a body from anywhere else but the browser, b) add a command to show all bodies or c) just change 'show all components' to 'show all'.
I think c is the most logical solution to this weird and confusing problem.

I would totally disagree with that!
But then there's no reason not to add another menu item "Show all bodies" in addition to Show all components.
