I have an assembly file that on the view settings icon in the View (Heads-Up) tool I only have the option for perspective view. It was not like that before I have no idea if I might of click on something and turned it off. But all of my other assemblies are fine I have the option for RealView Graphics, Shadows In Shade Mode and Perspective.
Can I please get some Ideas on how to get back this other options, thank you.
Thanks for your reply. I went to tool/ customize option, but I only have an option to turn off or turn on the view (Heads-Up) tool bar. I have it turned on, my problem is that in the Heads-up tool bar I don't have all of the view options as: Realview Graphics,etc. I tried looking for those option in the customize option, but did not see them, thank you.
I'm sorry, I should have read that before I posted. I assumed that page would have explained how the Heads Up toolbar could be customized the same as the other toolbars ... right mouse click > Customize > Commands and drag whatever you need into the toolbar.
You could also try right mouse click > Customize > Options > Show All (both buttons)
I tried it and I still only see the option for Perspective, thank you.
Deigo,
You wouldn't have happened to save your settings prior to this would you?
If so you can reinstall them.
Sorry I accidentally clicked on the correct answer button. I don't think I saved my settings because I'm not sure how to do it. Can you tell me how to reinstall them just incase I did save them, thank you.
If you had saved your settings, you would have remembered. It is not something which can be done accidentally.
You either have to go into the registry (regedit from the Run command) and drill down to the SolidWorks section, and export
-or-
Run the Start > All Programs > SolidWorks > SolidWorks Tools > Copy Settings Wizard
If you did neither, the settings cannot be restored.
Diego,
Kelvin is right. You would have remembered because it prompts you to change the settings file name as well as
where to save them. Follow what he told you.
Start>All programs>Solidworks>Solidworks Tools>Copy settings wizard. Pretty easy to step through.
The other thing you can do is to rename the solirdworks registry. That will get your settings back to square one
so you can start fresh.
I just re-read your OP ... Is it only the one assy where this condition exists?
If it is, the Large Assembly Mode (LAM) has probably been activated.
Go to Tools > Options > System Options > Assemblies, and either raise the threshold or deselect LAM, and then check whether the View menu options are restored.
I got it, thank you. I deselected the LAM and I got the view menu options back. I'm just wondering as my assembly gets bigger how will it affect the assembly if the LAM is unchecked. Should it be activated at a certain point? Thanks again.
FYI,
I don't have my LAM checked and I am loading assemblies with a couple to 300 parts in it
and it loads fine.
I would say monitor it and check it if necessary. Save often and if you have PDM keep checking it into the
vault regularly.
The LAM can be activated and deactivated whenever it is required. System performance will dictate when it would be useful.
