Copy assembly-but only the visible, unsuppressed items

[mluterman]

I want to copy an entire assembly to a new one (preferrably using the Copy Components command in the .iam), but only keep the visible and unsuppressed items. Is there a trick to doing this easily (without selecting/deselecting the items one-by-one)? It would be ideal if I could copy only what is Visible from an active ViewRep (and leave out the suppressed items). I thought there was already a way to do this, but I could be wrong.

If you suppress items then just window select what you want, then click copy it only copies what you have selected...

See attached unless I am mis-understanding you.

If you window select you're entire model it should only select the components that are visible and unsuppressed.  Then you can just Ctrl+C, open a new assembly and Ctrl+V.

Hi Mitchell,

I am not aware of an out-of-the-box workflow to do that. You may want to look into the following Copy Design related tools.

Many thanks!

Thank you, I was so focused on the browser tree, I was ignoring what was right on the screen in front of me.

Thank you for that research, Johnson. I will definitely be looking into those.
