Hallo everybody ,
my workspace disappears as soon as i open my shaft as a part , in the assembly the part is there but when i try openning the file alone in order to adjust it i get the following screen :
my project is due very soon , i would appreciate any piece of advice ,
thank you in advance
Looks to me you have the feature manager tree dragged all the way to the right of the window
well that was my first thought but it appearently thats not the problem , every other part opens normall with the a workspace , i have even tried tp dragg the tree by other parts all the way to the end to see if that was the case or not , but it isnt , but why do i have two features trees instead of one , is there a way where i can restore the default layout , any other suggestions , thakn you

The width of the manager area is stored independently with each document, so it does look like for this document, somehow the tree got to be wider than the whole graphics area. Try hitting F9 to hide the tree and then grab the little handle in the center left to pull the tree out to the desired width.
I hope this helps,
Jim
thank you so much it works , such stories always happen when im switching suddenly from 2 monitors to one , this will save me alot of work , thank you
Thought I saw something out in the forum about resizing the FMT. Might be easier to upload the model if you can.
By the way feature manager tree size is model dependent so that is probably why you do not see the issue on other models.
thank you the F9 was the key
For those, like me, that have assigned the F9 key to a different function, from the SW menu select View, User Interface, FeatureManager Tree Area
And for similar need I created a standalone program (still need to find a fix for Win 10) Set FeatureManager Width on File Open/New
Does it also not work with Windows 8.1? I remembered your program but it did nothing when I ran it so I did not post a link to the thread until I had a chance to research it more.
No have not tested with 8.1. I'm rewriting the program to SWP format so that it can work on all windows.
Solid Air is correct.
The FM tree can be adjusted for individual parts, so it is no surprise that other parts open normally.
Regarding the split FM, just grab the top bar of the lower tree and drag it to the top or double-click the tiny circle, circled in red.
FYI, that tiny circle is placed at the centre of the FM top bar, which means your tree has been extended way off screen to the right somehow.
Send the part to your VAR to see if they can find a fix.
Hit F9 key and see what happens.
thank you , it was the F9 button
