Folders for Sketches

Folders for Sketches

It would be so useful to have the ability to create folders to house sketches in the browser tree....

 

From looking at previous threads the advice has always been the # rule of keep "Create Components, Activate... etc"

 

Where this breaks down is in models such as mine where I have about 20 top level components, then if you take one of those components ( where I group about ~50 components within ) - there are 77 sketches which means I have to scroll constantly in the browser tree and collapse/expand often.

 

The 77 sketches are spread across and interact with multiples of the ~50 components within, so I can't really create a next leave of component hierarchy to distribute the sketches more efficiently.

 

Now I understand that perhaps the type of models I'm creating are somewhat different from the work others do but I wouldn't have thought this would be a hard feature to add, and would be useful?

There’s an odd chance, using Selection Sets, can sort of get you there, or not.

meaning full names helps me more often get what I want.

sort of helps although they get created at the root component level so loses context - folders would just be easier.

it's more about having such a long list that makes scrolling tedious

we have folders for Bodies, Toolpaths in CAM and other places...
