Every year SOLIDWORKS releases a new version of its flagship product, and last year, a new tradition was born here on the Blogs. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking a Sneak Peek at 15 new features here on the SolidApps Blog, and then we’ll be following them up with short, detailed videos on the functionality beginning September 23rd. Until then, you can learn more about SOLIDWORKS 2016 by clicking the banner above and checking out the Beta Program.
Toggling the Visibility of Bodies or Components
You can toggle the visibility of solid and surface bodies by moving the pointer over the body in the graphics area and clicking Tab to hide or Shift + Tab to show. These keyboard shortcuts have been available for components in assemblies and are now available for bodies in parts. In addition, you can show one or more hidden bodies or components by moving the pointer to the graphics area, and pressing and holding Ctrl + Shift + Tab. Hidden bodies or components will temporarily display as transparent and can be changed to show by clicking them.
