Menus

The menus contain nearly all the SolidWorks commands.

Menus and menu items are available depending on the active document type and work flow customization. Many commands are also available in:

• CommandManager

• Toolbars

• Shortcut menus

• Task Pane

You can customize menus to hide or show items, and you can hide all menus in full screen mode.

When  Interactive What's New is on and a menu item is new in the current release, appears next to the menu item. Click to access information about the new functionality.  

Some commands are available only on shortcut menus; for example:

• Recent Commands

• Create sub-weldment

• Insert into New Part (molds, sub-weldments)

Some commands are available only on toolbars; for example:

• Animate with eDrawings 2007 (eDrawings toolbar)

• Calculate Simulation (Simulation toolbar)
