How do you get two managers on the left side of the screen?


Hover over the split bar at the top or bottom of the manager until you get the up or down arrows and then drag

...or ask Dale Dunn for a copy of his "SplitterFixer" macro and peg it to a hot key....

Sounds like a question for Dilbert.

Kewl beans. Thanks.

Huh? What? This?

' *************************************************************************

***** 'Splitterfixer by Dale Dunn ' ************************************************************************* ***** Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks Dim Part As SldWorks.ModelDoc2 Dim Splitterpos As Double

Sub main()

Set swApp = CreateObject("SldWorks.Application") Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc Splitterpos = Part.FeatureManagerSplitterPosition Select Case Round(Splitterpos, 1) Case 0.5 Part.FeatureManagerSplitterPosition = 1 Case Else Part.FeatureManagerSplitterPosition = 0.5 End Select

End Sub

Others told you how to do this. Now I'll confuse things and tell you another way to the same end without the extra clicks of splitting the feature manager.

Control-select the two entities, then RMB and choose "View Mates". The feature manager splits, the bottom window goes to Properties and shows the list of mates. Esc closes the bottom window. This one's documented: Search in Help for "view mates" and read the article on "Component Mates"

Offer them a whole lot of money 8^)

That is the way I accidentally got two managers! You are worthy!
