More Selection Methods

Posted on June 18th, 2008 in Assemblies, Productivity, Selection Tools, SolidWorks by The SW Geek

Earlier this month I wrote about Component Selection Tools in Assemblies and I left out a couple of new selection tools in 2008. Today We will cover those missing selection tools; Show Hidden Components, Advanced Select & Select Sub Assembly. These selection tools will come in handy later this week when we cover Quick View / Selective Open.

Component Selection Tools in Assemblies

Posted on June 2nd, 2008 in Assemblies, Productivity, Selection Tools, SolidWorks, ToolBars by The SW Geek

SolidWorks 2008 brought the addition of new tools for selecting components that will make your life easier. Throughout the upcoming weeks we will be covering them all but today we will be covering the new selection tools Volume Select, Select Suppressed, Select Hidden, Select Mated To and Select Internal Components. These new tools are easily accessible in the Select Flyout Button in either the Standard Toolbar at the top of your screen or in the Shortcut Bar (see the post Improve Productivity - Use Shortcut Bars for more information on Shortcut Bars.)
