Navigating Beetween Open Files in 2008
(OP)
I am having problems switching between open documents in SW 2008. I normally go to "window" in the main menu (file - edit - view - insert - etc) and select the document I would like to show. Most times this brings up the wrong document, and sometimes it will bring up a file that I didnt even have open!
One way around this that I have found is to "browse open documents" which is also under the "window" tab, or you can hit Ctrl-Tab.
I dont remember having this problem with 2007, has anyone come across this or know any fixes?

You can also bring up the Open dialog with the appropriate filter for types by clicking on the Part, Drawing, or Assembly icon right above the list box. It auto-collapses to get out of your way, but reappears with a mouseover.
I posted this previously some time ago, but have added many functions since.
You may notice that there is some text saying that no license string is present. That is for some additional capability that gives an indication of how many changes have been made since the last save. That capability is only possible using swDocMgr.dll, which needs a license key string from SolidWorks API support. It is supposed to be distributed only inside your own company, so I can't include it with this macro.

How and who do I ask for a licence key for swDocMgr.dll? I get an error saying "Can't find project or library"
RE: Navigating Beetween Open Files in 2008
The license key string is not necessary for the macro to run. If you get the reference fixed it should work. If you want that one additional function, the only way to get a license key string is to send an email to apisupport@solidworks.com.

It has been reported that XP-SP3 also corrects the problem.

So far I have not seen this problem. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist for me though. ;)
