ctrl-tab in 2008

JK,

CTRL-TAB is the only reliable way now to get to open documents and it isn't that reliable itself. It doesn't work like before, it opens a "palette of documents" and you have to pick one. Because of the problem with the Command Manager losing it's context you end up doing CTRL-TAB alot when working on a part/drawing combination or part/ assembly combination to get the right icons.

IMHO this is a beta problem that is making it's way to 2009Beta.

Keep the Ctrl key pressed with the Ctrl/Tab, then you can select the required window

It seems that SW08 Sp4 will fix the window selection through the menu. Willem

It just defaults to the last active document you had. If you have several open and want to get to a different document, simply hold down Ctrl and tab through the list of documents. It's actually very nice for when you want to tweak a part, but don't want to edit it in context of an assembly. You can have several open, but only switch between the last two active documents.

HTH

Yep-holding down the ctrl key is the point I was missing. Don't know what was wrong with the old way, but I can now manage it. Thanks.
