Solidworks Feature Manager

[Osx]

My Solidworks feature manager window is split into two parts. The top window for controlling hide/show bodies and the bottom window for editing features.

My problem is that every time I click on a feature in the bottom window the top window also jumps to that feature on the history tree. That means I constantly have to scroll a long way back up to the bodies folder in the top window.

Do you know a way to keep one of the two feature manager from jumping like this?

Thanks.

Grab the divider bar (point and click/hold) that splits your Feature Manager and drag it up/down as desired to have only one window.

Go to Tools > Options > System Options > Feature Manager and deselect Scroll selected item into view

The problem is not restoring the ftr mgr back into one window.

I should have added this to my original post - I intentionally split the feature mgr into two windows so I can have faster acess to the bodies folder and feature without having to scrolling up and down
the history tree

How can I have the "scroll selected item into view" deselected for one window and selected (functioning)in the other window?

for example: My ftr mgr is split into two windows the top window will be able to "scroll selected ..." and the bottom window is not enabled for "scroll selected ..."

You can't, it's a system option. It's either all or nothing.
