Displaying Scrollbars

You can turn on scrollbars in drawing documents without turning them on in part and assembly documents.

Previously, the system option Display scrollbars in graphics view applied to all document types (parts, assemblies, and drawings). In SOLIDWORKS® 2019, that option is replaced by two new options (one for drawings and one for parts and assemblies).

You cannot change these options while any documents are open.

To display scrollbars in SOLIDWORKS documents:

  1. Close all SOLIDWORKS documents.
  2. Click Tools > Options > System Options > Display.
  3. Select or clear these options:
    • Display scrollbars in graphics view for parts and assemblies
    • Display scrollbars in graphics view for drawings
