"A new drawing appears in the graphics area, and the Model View PropertyManager appears. " ?
Really ? Where is it ?
" The Model View PropertyManager appears only if Start command when creating new drawing is selected in the PropertyManager."
What ?
So, theres no drawing, and there's no Property Manager, and there's no x to click so what is the student supposed to do next ?
Anybody ?
I'm not following what your saying Ruben. ? ? Not making sense .
Ruben, I'm trying to follow the instructions in the SolidWorks offical Tutorial "Lesson 3 - Drawings" which are not making proper sense.
Give me the link to your tutorial, I did it like 10 years ago and it was very simple to do. Now whats wrong inside it.....I want to see it. Please send me their own.I want to see it
You may have it Ruben, under the "Help" menu, "SW tutorials" then "Lesson 3 - Drawings" . Then you'll find the same page I sent to you. Please read it and get back to me. It makes no sense to me.
No, SW only needs to write more accurate and correct instructions on using there tuts, that is if SW would really like there students to learn the tutorials.

Where is your instructor?
SolidWorks is a professional program and deserves (requires?) a professional level of preparation.
When I get a chance - I will take a look at the actual Tutorial instructions.
Can you Attach your *.sldprt and *.slddrw files here that you are using for the tutorial?
I was under the impression that is what the Tutorials are for ? Learning or preparation. But I'm finding the wording of the instruction to sometimes be very difficult to decipher.
My apologizes but as I was scrolling though to respond, I didn't not catch your sceenshot. That helps greatly. Thank you.

The property manager will only appear automatically if a check box has been previously checked in the property manager. To see what the tutorial is describing, click 'Insert...Model View' from the menus. You will then see the property manager and the checkbox 'Start command when creating new drawing'. If you check that check box, the next time you start a drawing, the property manager will appear automatically.
The next step in the tutorial tells you to close the property manager. So, if it didn't appear in the first place, you can simply continue with the next step of the tutorial.
This step in the tutorial could definitely be written more clearly.
thank you for the response Jim, I'm still figuring it out.
There you don't have this one?
