Sp3.1, recently installed, seems to have removed the origin display. I can turn it on from the view menu, but can't get it to stick as a start-up default.

What upgrade did I get to offset this annoyance?

No one else has this question

You can try to edit the registry..
Start > Run > "regedit"

I did a quick search, and I found this:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks\SolidWorks2007\Planes

Three keys:
   Assembly Origin Visibility
    Drawing Origin Visibility
    Part Origin Visibility

I believe a value for 1 is visible.

Paddy,

SolidWorks kind of overdid it. The original problem was that if you turned on the opaque feature managar fly-out option, a little gray box appeared at the origin location. This was 'fixed' in SP3.1 but now that origin is gone altogether. My sources tell me that SP 4.0 fixes the new problem.

  Thanks, guys.
  
  Shawn, thanks for the info, but binary scares the beejeesus out of me. Our IT guy would festoon my cubicle with my entrails if I mucked up the registry.
  
  SA, I'm waiting with baited breath.
