When Assembly4 link parts are in the folder
the MOVE function cannot be used

Because I have a lot of link parts(ASM_MOVE_TEST3)
I want to do classification management
Is there any other classification method
I can still use the MOVE function after classification

The situation is as shown below(ASM_MOVE_TEST1、ASM_MOVE_TEST2)

you're right, this is by design. This has been requested many times (see issue #189). Until now I have resisted to implement this for simplicity reasons.

Did you try with configurations ?

Image

You set up what parts are visible, their offsets, and you create a configuration. You can do as many configurations you want: make a setup that you want to save, create the configuration, and you can recall it at any time: the assembly will show and hide as you have defined in your configuration. The AttachmentOffsets of the parts are also stored there, so you can make exploded assemblies (this tool was meant for assembly instruction steps)

Sorry
Where can I find information about "configurations"
The classification method refers to "link parts"
"link parts" are too many...XD

As shown below (ASM_MOVE_TEST4)

ah, OK, so it's not for that use-case. Why don't you use sub-assemblies ?

Do you mean like this?
(ASM_MOVE_TEST51)

I ran into this problem here Most Linked Locations
(ASM_MOVE_TEST52)

I thought about it later
I should create more datum objects
To reduce assembly complexity

excuse me
I asked another question from a long time ago
I use a file "_P"
It only has "spreadsheet"
It is used as a global variable for all files
But it’s not very convenient to use
Need to be updated one by one
And I not only use three files
I use it in several files
I record and upload YOUTUBE
The situation is like this

Excuse me again
I have one more question
The project of "Assembly 4" uses "View Fit All"
CAD ratio will become smaller and smaller
This happened at 2:52 on Youtube

The above are most of the problems when I use "Assembly 4"
Thank you very much for your answers and assistance
