Quick filter button

Here is another gem in the 2013 SolidWorks, something small that i know ALL of you are going to find helpful and use daily!

When opening a part , drawing or assembly you 9 times out of 10 go the files of type at the bottom and scroll to the type of file you’re after.

OR like me sometimes you forget to scroll all the way tot the top and you think Windows has eaten up all of your assembly files! Then you will like this feature.

Click Quick Filter buttons in any combination to see the desired file type. For example,click Filter Parts to see only parts. To see parts and assemblies, click Filter Parts
and then Filter Assemblies .

AND

If you have a folder containing assemblies and sub-assemblies, you can use a quick filter button to see only top-level assemblies.
Click Filter Top-Level Assemblies to see only top-level assemblies
