Here is my screen shot after opening a part I made and dropping two into an assembly.  http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/833/uytk.p

Here is a GoEngineer tutorial starting with two simple parts but screen has all the stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhumbNia7Wo  What did I do to make all the bars and ribbons disappear, and how do I bring everything back to normal?

Is there any good guide to this aspect of Solidworks? (which mode you are in and where the expected menus and ribbons 'ran off' to)  It seems to be my biggest problem.
