While measuring a variety of entities in an imported step file, Ihappened to stumble upon several commands that work across severalwindow. The commands continue to work regardless of SW Object type(part, assembly or drawing).

The Measure Tool allows measurement in one window and will continueto work when you move to another window.

This is true whether you have windows tiled or you Ctrl Tab throughwindows. You can even open a new file and the command remainsactive.

Zoom Area & Pan also work across windows.

These are the ones that I most recently found and there areprobably more so, keep your eyes open. In my case, I saved a lot oftime using the measure tool this way.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
Have a nice extra long weekend!SolidworksGeneral
