  Or at least make parts in the design explorer appear in their applied order.

  This would be very helpful with sheet metal parts with pressed hardware.

  mess mess mess, al the assembly's are a mess mess mess....

  please give us something to clean this up!!!

  Being able to rearrange the order of parts in large assemblies is a must.

  would be god to have such a function

  you may consider a kind of external "reverse engineering" tool. This do not break the Alibre Design "kernel", just run it when one need it. I think it would be easier to implement ( = more chance to get it )

  When building new systems top-down or bottom-up, it is very useful to be able to reorganize the assembly structure quickly. Capabilities such as creating a new subassembly from a group of parts and moving a part from one assembly to another through the use of the Design Explorer would be really handy.

  This is the basic function for any 3D CAD. No doubt about it.

  See the outliner feature in Google's Sketchup. They have this already.

  Amen!

  I think this is a wonderful proposal. As a design is iterated it would be helpful to easily move parts and subassemblies around in the hierarchy. Moving a part/assembly should open an a interactive dialog listing constraints and allowing one to selectively break or modify existing assembly constraints.

  This is a similar concept to the suggestion for interchanging similar parts without having to delete and insert new ones -- like exchanging a phillips head screw for a socket drive screw.

  I do a lot of prototypes and its frustrating to build up a model and have the design try a mess, and also makes drawings a drag. A lot of my customers also want exploded drawings for assembly purposes but it's hard when all the parts on in one huge assembly.
