SW 2008 How to use the "Show Hidden Components" Feature

SW 2008 How to use the "Show Hidden Components" Feature

SW 2008 How to use the "Show Hidden Components" Feature

(OP)
I'm using SW 2008. I created an assembly file with several parts. I click on "Show Hidden Components". I see couple parts are hidden not sure why. I click on "undo" and nothing seems to happen. How do I un-hide these parts. If anyone has dealt with this problem before, please help.

Thank You,
Kevin

Did you right-click the part in the feature tree and select un-hide?

Kevin,
Do you work for the company that makes that assy (SS/SST)?
If so, you can email me.

Select the first item in the FM tree, then under the Edit menu, select the Show or Show with Dependents, and subsequent options.

Apparently instead of looking under the Edit menu you've gone to Tools->Options.  The Edit menu is up at the top left-hand corner next to the File menu.  You'll have to click the little right-arrow button next to the SolidWorks logo to make those menus visible.

Stupid 2008 UI.

A few suggestions;

Read the SW2008 What's New.

Work through all the SolidWorks tutorials in the Help section.

Get training from your VAR or SolidProfessor or igetit.

cheers
