Filtering the FeatureManager Design Tree

There’s an awesome and often overlooked feature in SolidWorks that some of you know about and I believe others would really benefit from. It is the filter that SolidWorks added to the topmost part of the FeatureManager tree a couple of releases ago.

As you begin typing, the graphics area updates in real time displaying items that match.

Take note of the options that are available and also note that you can search for anything, including sketches, specific features, etc …
