In addition you can create a sketch as an envelope part. If you mate the sketch into an assembly multiple times and then mate other things to the sketch then when you move one item in the sketch all the instances of the sketch will move. This would be very difficult to do otherwise.
In the old assembly line demo an envelope was used to show the area in which an operator would stand.
Just a reminder that having the edges turned on takes more power, so if you are dealing with a large model, turning off the edges can make a significant difference.

I am not sure about SW2004. I don't have access to it. But before you give up, make sure the status bar is visible under View>Status Bar.
