Tech Tip
New Feature in SolidWorks 2012
New to SolidWorks 2012 is the ability to quickly hide and show
components while working in assembly mode. In the graphics area,
you can press Tab and Shift + Tab to hide and show components.
To hide a component, move the pointer over it and press Tab. To
show a component, move the pointer over an area containing a hidden
component and press Shift + Tab.
You can use these commands regardless of the component's state
(resolved, lightweight, SpeedPak, or Quick view).
