Quickly view feature dependencies in SOLIDWORKS

To quickly view feature dependencies, you can display graphical relationships between items in the FeatureManager design tree.

Dynamic Reference Visualization lets you view the parent relationships between items in the FeatureManager design tree. When you hover over a feature with references in the FeatureManager design tree, arrows display showing the relationships.

If a reference cannot be shown because a feature is not expanded, the arrow points to the feature that contains the reference and the actual reference appears in a text box to the right of the arrow.

All references visible                                      One reference hidden

Dynamic reference visualization is enabled by default.

To turn it off, in the FeatureManager design tree, right-click the first item (part or assembly) and clear Dynamic Reference Visualization FeatureDependencies3 on the context toolbar in the shortcut menu.
