eDrawings 2009 API Components Trouble

I am developing a VB6 application for a touch screen panel PCrunning XP using the eDrawings 2009 ActiveX control. I need bigbuttons that are easily touched, so I can not utilize the built-indrop down menu.

I want to emulate the "Hide Others" option on the drop down menuand I thought it would be easy to loop through each component andhide each that is not the selected component. This works, but ittakes FOR-EV-ER. What the built in "Hide Others" methodaccomplishes in < 1 second takes my method >10 minutes! Itappears that the model is re-rendered each time a component ishidden.

Anyone know a faster way to do this?

On a side note, there does not appear to be a 2009 SDK availablefor download. Anyone know where I can find further documentation onAPI properties (likeViewCamera and working with faces) not found in the 2008SDK?

Thanks to everyone reading.SolidworksEdrawings
