How to deal with large numbers of sketches

Hi Everyone,

 

I have some design files that are a few months old, have been through many revisions and changes, and some of them are approaching 200 sketches. Most of these sketches are referenced by important geometry so cannot be deleted. 

 

My problem is, when I create a new sketch, it puts it at the bottom of a list of 200 items, and so i have to scroll and scroll and scroll to find it to turn it on and off.

 

I don't know if there is already a way to streamline this, but if not - there should be.

 

Would it be possible to have under the sketches a system where it only shows you the last 5 or 10 sketches, and all the others are put into an expandable folder so if you need them, you can expand the folder and find the one you need?

 

This would be very helpful. 

 

Thanks.

Are the Sketches organized within the Components they belong with? Are those Components organized within the Browser hierarchy into container Components in a sensible way?

 

If so, it ought to be a simple matter of turning off the visibility of a few container Components that you aren't working on at the moment, and all the Sketches belonging to the Components within those containers turn off.

 

I'm dang curious to see a Project file that's got 200 or more Sketches in it.
