SW2006 - Go back to old Select Other method?
(OP)
Having just migrated to 2006 from 2004, I find the new Select Other tool to be incredibly slow (as well as the rest of the program). Is there any way to switch back to the original type of Select Other command?






RE: SW2006 - Go back to old Select Other method?
Have you converted (to SW06 format) all the files you are working on before opening them?
Have you upgraded your video card driver?
Are your computer specs up to the task of running SW06?

But to answer your question no you cannot go back to the way it was.

Well, thanks for the answers regarding not being able to get back the old Select Other method... it's definitely a sad day, one I'll just have to live with.

RE: SW2006 - Go back to old Select Other method?
I can honestly say, the more "features" that SolidWorks has added over the years, the more more slowly I had to use the program. Granted, there are some nice features available in newer versions, but for all around ease of use for myself, SW2004 is the best. Too bad I can't convince my employer to downgrade. lol

Better to
forceconvince your employer to upgrade your computer than to downgrade the software.Helpful SW websites FAQ559-520

Part of CorBlimeyLimey's response in the first response to the original post
Have you done this? Basically (as I understand it) you (or a routine) needs to open and save every SW file.

I've been using swx since 98 and I know what you mean about the old Solect Other tool....it broke my worflow when they changed it. But after learning the new tool...it's faster and easier.
If you think about it, they work about the same. Right click the area (new tool removes face), then you immediately left click to get the face underneath. If there many faces in the area, you right click (old tool cycles thru them, new tool hides them) You don't have to use the list which may be throwing people off.

I've been told that a new machine is on it's way, so hopefully all of my performance issues will soon be put to bed (or at least buried until the next few versions come out that are even fatter, lol).
Yes, all our files have been converted or at least saved under SW2006 format... I'm the new employee here, they've all been using SW2006 a while, my old employer just had SW2004.
