Component Folders

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to make folders in the component tree on the left of the screen?  I'm working on a design that has lots of components and it would be nice to group them in folders so I don't have this giant list running down the left side of my screen.  Its particularly annoying when I have 50 of the same bolt in a model and there are 50 of the same thing in the tree.......  I tried putting the bolt components inside a "master" bolt component--- which worked initially, but then I realized the quantities in a table for a 2d drawing show incorrectly 1 instead of 50.  Am I just missing something obvious?

You've hit a catch 22.

Pulling all the bolts into a master component essentially created a subassembly. So far, so good.

However when you create a BOM for the overall assembly the count shown is "1" for the subassembly with the bolts.

You'd have to create a separate BOM for the subassembly to show the number of bolts in that subassembly.

I believe there is a workaround but I don't remember what that is. For this and a number of other reasons I don't use the  drawing environment with its absolutely rudimentary bare-bones BOM functionality in Fusion 360.

An easy work around would be if they let you manually edit the quantity in the bom table.  Not sure why you cant?  I can't remember why right now, but I have had incorrect quantities listed there before for a different reason and it would have been nice to be able to edit....
