I don't know the proper name for this but, the little tags oon the right side of my screen are missing. These are the ones for toolbox, adding views to a drawing, forming tools among others. All I did was close SW and reopened it and there it was ....gone. Any help?
Thanks,
Rob
Rob,
What you need to do is right click on the top header or an empty space on the background so that the toolbar list comes up. Then check "Task Pane", that should restore it.
This is something different but it relates really well to your question - try press the S key while in the part window - RT click on an empty space in the shortcut that pops up and select- customize, then drag all commonly used features and sketch tools onto the dock. Then start a sketch, S key and drag all your common sketch tools out including cut extrude and revolve so that you can use those features without even closing your sketch. Save this a template and remove your task pane from view again. Actually the only thing I have displayed is my (feature manager tree area) Set up short cuts for views so that 7 is top 1 is front and 3 is rt side with the opposite view being ALT + number then you can hide everythign and focus on the design.

Ryan, for the views you don't need to setup shortcuts ctrl+1-7 are std views ctrl+8 is normal to any surface. My task pane has autohide on so it doesn't take up much room at all. Is there anyway to get rid of the scroll bars?
Thanks,

My checkbox is greyed out and checked so I can't uncheck it.
