    Drawing object cannot be selected!?

    Because it did not move when you dragged the views around I would guess it is drawn on the sheet. Right-Click on the sheet, not a view, and select Lock Sheet Focus. Now try deleting it. If that does not work I would try right-clicking in a view and select Lock View Focus and then try...

    BOM size and font

    Are you talking the excel or the new BOM in 2004? The excel BOM is controlled by the note font. If I am not mistaken the new table BOM font is controlled by Tools, Options, Document Properties, Annotations Font. BBJT CSWP

    New part in assy

    It may also be a video thing. If what Scott wrote did not work try right-clicking on the desktop , select properties, settings, advanced, troubleshooting and set acceleration down to none. You might want to shut down SolidWorks before you do this. BBJT CSWP

    Inventor vs SolidWorks

    Like Sean says, Get a demo of both. Also make sure they tailor them demo to your parts and process. I have used SolidWorks for 6 years after getting off the sinking Mechanical Deskstop ship. I know support the engineers for our company. The way I see it is all the mid-range packages do just...
