Hi All,
Even though parametric tools like Solidworks have strong merits I find that as part of my work flow I store base geometry in hidden layers or object names I can reconstruct even complex models very quickly by going back to base build stage. Perhaps in this workflow having a ARCHIVE HIDE function as I find switching individual layers/objects on and off in complex models the only repetitive function - that way the base build parts could be kept hidden withing the model and only switched back on when really required. As far placing parts in complex models a more advanced ORIENT tools like multi point orientation so that you can precisely place parts into large assemblies would certainly help. Minor thoughts.
