Folder in Feature Tree

I'm sure I'm just getting CAD systems mixed up, but I thought there was a way to add a folder to the feature tree.  For example, I would create a folder named "Draft" and move all the draft features inside this folder.  Then create another one for "Fillets", and then my feature tree would look very clean.  Some times this is a great way to show a revision, or even track the revision.  I feel like I saw something in Inventor where this was possible.

This option is only in Assembly mode.  To me it sounds like you are working in part mode.

Hi, 

 

There is the ability to create folders in the assembly browser for creating folders. However, in a part file, there isn't presently an option for creating folders in the browser for features. This may be a good enhancement request for the Inventor Ideastation

Slightly embarrassed, I went to go vote for your idea, and it was grey-out (I don't remember voting it up)

I'm not sure you would want to group features in a folder.  Although you can move features up and down the browser as long as it is not dependent on something before. Try moving a fillet before the feature the fillet is attached to and you can't.  So you could move all the fillets to the bottom of the browser with no problems. But you couldn't move the extrudes around.
