Hi,

I've been working with some different CAD programs and I'm missing one functionality in everyday CADing with assemblies in Solidworks. I don't know where to give the feedback put I'll put it here in the community and maybe it will reach the right audience.

Anyway when working with assemblies I'm intrested to filter the selection.

There is a filter built in in Solidworks but it is missing the most important filter.

Part/Component priority. & Subass, Prio.& Ass. Prio

when working in assemblies most of the time I don't need the left corner infographics.

Basically what I want is to select items in the CAD window and the concurrent browser/tree parts should be selected.

Not a line, surface, sketch, feature or whatever, but the component/part/ass.

The main reason for this is today you basically need to select the items in the browser tree before you can use some functionalites.

But to find the correct items in a browser tree is a nightmare if you have hundreds of parts, you want to select it from the CAD window.

AS long you are picking 1 item it is easy but when you want to select more than 5 items and select something it is really time consuming for no reason.

If you need in real life experience what to implement, Try out Autodesk Inventor because they got that functionalty.

P.S This functionality would be great in drw mode also if you want to select parts to hide in a view. Since working with a browser tree takes time and is time consuming.
