HiIs there any possible way to delete or move this option "Expand All" from this model tree menu?I constantly work with very large assemblys, and it happens a lot, when i want to collapse all features, i miss the button and end clicking on "Expand All"This results

As an alternate approach you could create a mapkey to execute the collapse all and expand all. For the expand all mapkey, first go to the model tree filters and uncheck the "excluded objects" items in the model tree. You will be surprised how useful the expand all is when you only show the items that are active in the model tree.

I seem to be missing something. I liked the idea, so I tried it, but it doesn't make any difference.

excluded objects are unchecked,
a part in a large assembly is activated
if I hit "expand all", there is no difference between what's displayed versus all options in the tree filter checked.

It's even worse, because once a part is activated there is no option to "locate it in the model tree" anymore.

Tested with Creo 2 M240.

Please have a look at the Creo 11 enhancements. They have a somewhat different intention, but will help your case as well as the expansion will be incremental. see Improved Expand and Collapse Workflows for all Navigation Trees
