how to use favorites?

how to use favorites?

(OP)
Will someone please explain to me how to save and load "favorites" in Solidworks?  When I add and try to save favorites, Solidworks does not give me the "save as" dialog box that the help files say I should get.  When I open a new drawing and try to load favorites, it asks me to find a ".sldfvt" file, which does not exist on my computer evidently.

RE: how to use favorites?

(OP)
fcsuper, I tried that but to no avail.  Then by process of elimination I isolated the problem..  Solidworks will not save a favorite with a "/" in the name.  My favorites were named like "+/- 0.5" and nothing happens when you try to save it.. no error message or anything.  Grrrr..
