When specifying a SolidWorks file in a PowerPoint hyperink, once the file opens there are a lot of UI issues such as missing Heads Up toolbar, missing controls for the active window, and even FeatureManager design tree not updating correctly. For a workaround, I usually just open the file ahead of time, and then the hyperlink jumps to the correct file and the UI is fine. This seems the same in PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 / XP or Vista.

Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks in advance, Phil
