SolidWorks' Power Hide Tool

The Tab+Mouse Hover in SolidWorks is an extremely fast* way to hide parts in an assembly that is often overlooked.


Swg


Give it a try;


(1) Open an assembly,


(2) Put the cursor over a part,


(3) Press the TAB key on your keyboard.


Viola! That part is hidden!


 


If you'd like a "Full Auto Mode";


Keep the Tab key held down as you move the mouse around.


- Parts will disappear one right after the other!


 


*Full Auto Mode still too slow?!;


Change your settings:


-Tools, Options, System Options, View, Transitions, Hide/show component.


- For max speed, set this to OFF!
