You can also drag the bottom of the list to control its size.\u00a0Previously, input boxes showed only three lines. When there were any selections, you\u00a0had to scroll to locate a specific selection.\u00a0Now, if you create a fillet feature and need to select many edges, as you make selections,\u00a0the list expands.\u00a0Drag the handle or the bottom edge of the list to lengthen or shorten it.\u00a0To return the list to its full size, right-click and click Autosize or double-click the handle\u00a0or the bottom edge of the list.\u00a0If you are adding selections using a PropertyManager that provides two list boxes, you\u00a0can resize a list without losing focus on the active list. For example, if you are adding\u00a0selections to one list and it is growing large, you can shrink an inactive list to provide\u00a0more room and still continue to add selections to the first list without having to refocus\u00a0on it.<\/p>\n<p>Originally posted in the <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.solidworks.com\/solidworksblog\/2015\/08\/sneak-peek-2016-expandable-propertymanager-input-boxes.html\" target=\"_blank\">SOLIDWORKS Blog<\/a> by Rachel Diane York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year SOLIDWORKS releases a new version of its flagship product, and last year, a new tradition was born here on the Blogs.
