Problem
This article goes over using Advanced Select to select all components of an assembly to apply a material to all components at once.
Solution
-
Access Advanced Select from Tools > Component Selection > Advanced Select or by clicking the down-arrow on Select
- In the Window that comes up, switch to the Define Search Criteria tab
- Select "Document name -- SW Special" in the Categor1 Cell
- Set the Condition cell to "Contains"
-
In the Value cell, type in "SLDPRT" so it looks like the image below and hit Apply to start the search
- To save this Search for later, type in a name for the Search in the "Name of Search" box and hit the Save icon. If we reopen the Advanced Select Window, we can select this search again to use it.
-
With all parts selected, right-click on any part and use the Material right-click menu to apply a favorite material or select a material with Edit Material to apply the material to all parts and close the Advanced Select window
