Expanding and Collapsing all Components in the SolidWorks Model Tree
With the new 2013 functionality of producing a new flat view for parts,
wouldn’t it be useful to have a similar setting for Assemblies?
Flat Tree view can also be activated by Ctrl + T
In Assemblies, if you select the top level assembly in the Feature Manger and press the Asterisk Key (*)
To collapse the tree again, you can Right Click and select Collapse Items or the keyboard shortcut, Shift + C
This can be useful when using the some of the Select options, which do not automatically expand the model tree.
