Especially with modern high resolution monitors selecting
without dynamic highlight is tedious and causes many
unnecessary misclicks and timeloss.
Most users that started after 2005 won't know or
miss it because they don't know that it ever existed.
Why is Solidworks discontinuing such important functionality?
It would be my top "enhancement" for Solidworks 2015 or
should I say a bug that takes 10 years to fix?
After SW2005 Solidworks removed the option to
have dynamic highlight in large assembly mode.
You could configure this to be on or off till SW2005.
I wonder why this option was ever removed.
It can't be something like a user enhancerequest
because it was an option anyway.
I cannot think of any valid reason, it is one of the
biggest regressions of Solidworks for us.
I sometimes test large assemblies in SW2014 and it is awfull
to see how bad it is compared to SW2005 concerning
the missing dynamic highlighting.
It causes about 5-10% productivity loss and many missclicks.
I have seen many complaints about this in the
last 10 years and I think it is about time to
submit an "enhancerequest" with the modern high
resolution monitors.
