    Hole Wizard - Pre-Selection vs. Post-Selection

    I've got a co-worker that is new to SolidWorks and he constantly uses the post-selection method of inserting hole wizard holes and for some reason they bother me. Usually for me that means there is something wrong/dangerous about the technique, but I can't put my finger on it...

    BOM "Follow Assembly Order" - default checked?

    For some reason my machine won't let me customize my file menu to always shown the "Reload" option. If I check it on, and exit the customize menu selection, it turns itself off again. This happens in all parts and assemblies. Has anyone else experienced this?

    SW2006 - Go back to old Select Other method?

    Having just migrated to 2006 from 2004, I find the new Select Other tool to be incredibly slow (as well as the rest of the program). Is there any way to switch back to the original type of Select Other command?

    Drawing Property auto-link to Config Description?

    Hi all - I'm looking for a way to automatically link a drawing template field to the configuration description in SW2006. I know that it automatically uses these descriptions to name the parts off in BOM's, but I can't seem to find the field name to link that specific entry in a drawing...
