Sometimes it is important for me find out the path location of a SW file that is currently opened. Any ideas?

Thank you,

Dave

Correct Answer

Another way it to go to the "Window" pull down on the upper file menu, and hover over your file (the one with the check mark next to it). It will give you the full file path of that file.

you can make yourself a parametric note and link it to file location in the part file and leave it visible.

Hi Dave,
To see the full filename and path, you can also hover your mouse over the file name at the top-center of the SolidWorks window and you'll see a tooltip showing the file location. See attached image.
Best Regards,
John
