The "View Mates" command takes an extremely long time to execute

Unread post by Mike Gera »

In my larger assemblies, the "View Mates" command takes an extremely long time to execute. Sometimes, it's on the order of minutes.

Is there a faster way to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks.

BTW, this is the "paperclip with eyeball" icon in the flyout.

Expand the Mates folder just below the file name.

I'm glad you like. I've been using that workflow instead of the icon for years.

The icon must take the long route around the globe...
