Changing windows ..........................................................................................

You can use several techniques to change from one SolidWorks window to another. By clicking on

the Window menu, you can view a list of open document windows (refer to Figure 2.35). You can

then select the desired window directly from this menu. If more than a few windows are open, a

More Windows option appears at the end of the list, as shown in Figure 2.37. Clicking this option

brings up a separate window that enables you to select from the complete list. Press Ctrl+Tab to

open the Open Documents dialog box (see Figure 2.37). This enables you to select the document

visually that you want to open.

Additionally, by default the R hotkey opens the Recent Documents dialog box, similar to the

Recent Documents list in the File menu. This can also be accessed via the File menu if necessary.

The Recent Documents dialog box is shown in Figure 2.38.
