Specifying Workspace Settings

You can adjust the workspace to simplify the user interface and reflect the monitor environment you use.

To specify workspace settings:

Click View > Workspace and specify options:
  • Simplified Interface. Presents the SOLIDWORKS window with an abridged user interface. The window includes basic interface elements tailored to the type of document that you open.
  • Default. Arranges the SOLIDWORKS window with the CommandManager at the top and PropertyManagers on the left.
  • Widescreen. Arranges the SOLIDWORKS window with the CommandManager to the left of the FeatureManager design tree and PropertyManagers on the right.
  • Dual Monitor. Displays SOLIDWORKS on one monitor and a detached CommandManager and PropertyManagers on the other.
