Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

Ive noticed a bug that when working with many parts on a plate the assembly auto expands by itself. Weither its the plate expands or the assembly exapands, it makes it really difficult to scroll up and down when you have many parts on multiple plates. As well as Plate Settings panel is always shown and takes up a lot of empty space. It would be nice to have it alongside the bottom and an arrow to expand it per user desire.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

I was hoping that there could be a upgraded UI for the per plate collapse and expand actions. The best way I can describe it is if anyone has ever used Adobe Illustrator layers panel. You want the plate expanded then you click the down arrow, you want it to stay always collapsed then you simple click the up arrow and it will never auto open until you click the arrow. I would also like to see per part visibility option. Orca already has assembly visisbility but not per part.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There are none as the plates auto expand by themselves. It seems like its whenever you click on a plate coming from a different plate.
