Tip for you impatient types
(OP)
I got used to waiting for my file to load before being able to do anything using another CAD program.
Well, after over a year on Solidworks, I accidently discovered you can zoom, pan and view a file as it's loading. I jusy got used to loading the file, and doing other things until it was fully loaded.
Maybe this is a new feature in 2005, or maybe it's been around forever. I don't know, but it's very handy when your customer calls, and asks a simple question, and you can load the file and can start looking without waiting. Especially helpfull on large assemblies.
Just thought I'd point this out to anyone else who might not know.

Another tip. You can also work in another program while you're waiting. At least since I went to SW 2005 SP3.0 I can. I'll start a large assy opening and come here, check email, or something else for the few minutes it takes the file to load.
Yep, definately an impatient type. <G>

Plus, I have 2 monitors, so I can have both applications open and see when SW's is done. Slower as far as SW's is concerned, but no wasted time.

I just thougt it was funny I never noticed this before. I just happened to scroll my mouse button, and it zoomed in while the file was still loading all of the components.
