description field in file open window

Matthew Downing Mar 11, 2016 6:21 AM

Having now updated to 2016 from 2011, I have noticed that the file open window used to show the "Description" field underneath the file name and files of type... fields.(something i found quite handy with our file name / numbering system). 2016 does not show this. Is there a setting i can use to get this field back??? or has it gone in a supposed "improvement"?

If anyone could please advise I would be most grateful.

I don't remember how it looked in SW2011 (I usually just browse directly in Windows Explorer to open files instead of File > Open from within SolidWorks), but depending on how you have your display options set up you can add a column for Description. Does this help?
