    Hidden Solidworks Commands

    When using Solidworks sometimes we come across hidden commands. Those

    commands are Undocumented or Under-Documented in the help or in the tutorialsand most of the time there great little tips to make our life a little easier when we

    are designing. Below is a list of Hidden Commands that I have found or have been

    given from Solidworks Professionals around the world.

    Select a face, click "normal to" = Result you are looking at that face, but if you

    want to see the other side. Click "Normal To" again and it flips 180 to the

    opposite side. Help Link

    Hold "Shift" to select a Transparent Face Help Link

    Hold "Alt" and click the Triad Arrows to rotate by RH Rule - As you click it

    rotates one step at a time. This uses the Snap Value for View Rotation.

    Reference Triad Help Link

    Click this Arrow of the Triad on either of the X, Y, or Z toRotate per the instruction above.

    Shift + Arrow will rotate the part 90 in the direction you select

    Ctrl + Triad Arrow will set the Arrow "Normal to" Ctrl + Same Triad Arrow will

    flip 180 to the other side. In the examples below I selected "Y".
