Multiplication of 2D drawing files

For example, for a special machine of my invention.

  1. I model the whole machine in a single folder.

  2. I divide the whole into subsets, which I call GR01, GR02… GR10.

  3. For each group, I make a series of 2D plans

  4. All these plans are numbered like this, GR01a1, GR01a2. GR02a1, GR02a2. GR10a1, GR10a2, etc.

  5. These groups correspond to complex subassemblies, for example GR01 is a machine up and down system, GR02 is the upper part of the machine chassis, GR03 is the machine slide. …

  6. The first problem is that the 2D drawings of each group are all mixed in the display of drawing names.

  7. The second problem is that if I hide a group, the drawings of that group are always visible in the drawing list, which makes it difficult to find a specific drawing, even if the header of its name includes the name of the group to which it belongs. I have to scroll through the entire list.

  8. My request: when I hide a group, that all the drawings of this group are also hidden, so that only the drawings of the visible group are actually accessible.

  9. Advantage: no longer having to create an independent folder per group to be able to manage drawings more easily.

  10. Advantage: Greater fluidity in work, considerable time saving for the studies of machines and special tools, as is currently my case.

  11. Advantage: rid the office of many files that will no longer need to be.
