Remove "Expand All"

Remove "Expand All"

 I just accidentally clicked on "Expand All" in my 23,326 part assembly and it took nearly 10 minutes to expand everything. I need this button removed or at least the option for me to hide it. "Collapse All" is still very necessary.

Thanks.

Or maybe just switch the location of Expand All and Expand All Folders so that it's hard to mis-click. (Of course not every assembly has folders)

Hi @Anonymous, I too experienced this nightmare many times until I realized it's MUCH faster to right-click and then simply hit "S", which will Collapse All. This eliminates the possibility of accidentally doing an Expand All since Expand All's shortcut letter is "N" which is halfway across the keyboard. 🙂

@DRoam Fantastic. I will attempt to implement that into my routine! Thanks!

I too would like to remove the expand all button. That is annoying.

Maybe a "previous" and "next" option when you right-click on Representations would make everybody happy ...

 

An accidental "expand all" could then be repaired with going back one step.

Thanks for posting this idea. It is a pain when you accidentally click "expand all" on an 80,000+ part assembly.
