dual monitors or a large one large one
(OP)
is there many users out there whom have a dual monitor set up,
I have just added a second so i have two 19" monitors Solidworks is spread over both with the user interface on the left along with tool bars and the whole of the screen on the right display solely the model.
Is this the preferred method?
James

But... If you go with one...
I suggest a wide-screen width to height ratio... since the Command Manager & File Explorer tend to claim the left & right vertical edges of my screen.
I tried spanning both monitors & disliked it substantially. FAQ376

I like to look at reference info on the second monitor. I also sometimes put the drawing file on the 2nd while working on the part or assembly on the main screen and I can watch the drawing update.
It's also nice to just throw files onto the other screen to drag in for assembly on the other screen.
