feature manager

I am looking for an easy way to sort parts within the feature manager.
Any suggestions? I would like the parts to be alphabetized if
possible.

THANKS,
Jason

 

I thought it could be done with a macro, but API offers only a
PartDoc::ReorderFeature, there is no AssemblyDoc::ReorderFeature . So my
answer is no, it cannot be done, sorry...
You might forward this to apisupport at solidworks dot com to request an SPR
on this...

 

alt + drag, be careful when you let go.

 

is it possible to change width of the feature manager with VB
To resize horizontally: ModelDoc2.SetFeatureManagerWidth
(this is normally shrunk to zero to make it 'disappear')

To move splitter bar vertically:
ModelDoc2.FeatureManagerSplitterPosition

To make disappear: get the hwnd with FeatMgrView::GetFeatMgrViewWnd

paste this code into code module:
'--------------------------------------------
Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal
nCmdShow As Long) As Long
Public Const SW_Hide = 0
'-----------------------------------

' and call this code with "app_hWnd" being the hwnd you got from
SW....
x% = ShowWindow(app_hWnd, SW_Hide)
