Assembly Visualization provides different ways to display and sort an assembly’s components in a list and in the graphics area. You can sort the list by one property at a time. Basic calculated numerical data such as component mass, density, and volume are available in the tool. Additionally, you can create customized criteria which are dependent on several numerical values! If you defined noncalculated properties such as Vendor or Status in the component files, you can access those properties for modification and sorting. Properties from SolidWorks Sustainability are also available.
Here is a quick tip to help you find parts & sub-assemblies, within an assembly, that have long rebuild times. Using the Assembly Visualization tool in SW2010, you can sort all the components of an assembly using their Rebuild Time as the sorting property. See the link to a movie showing this here.
