Feature Tree Folders

left_side

I made a product request regarding Feature Tree folders to organize the tree.  I like to work on an aspect of a PartStudio and then put sketches, planes and other features associated with that aspect in a folder and then label it, Aspect A.  This allows me to easily find things within the feature tree.  I was able to do this in Solidworks and it greatly helped me navigate the 50+ sketches, planes and features.  My blood pressure rises a little bit when I have to navigate through the feature tree and look for the particular sketch I need to update.  

I thought I would throw this out there to help Vote Up this feature.

I think the big thing to remember is that with a Part Studio you can have a feature impact multiple parts. So if you were to have a folder for features associated with a part/aspect then there would be a lot of duplicate data across the board.

One thing I find useful with Onshape that might not be fully realized is that you can easily identify the associated features used to create a part by double-clicking on that part in the model space. 

In the attached gif below you can see that as I double-click on parts of this design, the sketches and features become highlighted on the feature tree and the dimensions of that sketch are even revealed for me. Do you think this would be able to help in your workflow?

That is very cool. Thanks!!

I also want the ability to organize in folders.  One example is with Grouping in an Assembly.  Instead of taking all the parts and surfaces that make up the assembly and condensing them into a folder in the tree, it creates a Group down farther in the tree.  It makes scrolling up through the tree a real pain...

This is the #1 requested feature for Onshape for 3 years.  Clearly it is not going to happen.  I'd be happy with simple twistys to collapse sections like they do in assemblies.

It has happened!
Thankyou Onshape
