Apr 25th, 2008 | By Alex R. Ruiz | Category: Assemblies, Drawings, Parts, SketchesOne of my favorite new features in SolidWorks 2008 is the addition of Shortcut Bars. Shortcut bars are customizable floating bars that pop up in the graphic area near your mouse pointer.

With Shortcut Bars in addition to the CommandManager & Context menus, you should have no need for additional toolbars.

To access the Shortcut bar, ensure that you have nothing select in the graphic area the press S. Below illustrates the four default bars that you can customize.
