It is possible to install and use both SolidWorks and the SolidWorks Viewer on the same computer. Please note that double-clicking on .sldprt, .sldasm, and .slddrw files launches the SolidWorks application that was most recently run. If you wish to change this association at any time to the other application, just run the desired application using its program item under Start > Programs, then exit that application. This association change can be done any number of times.
Annotations are removed when the view is rotated using the Rotate View button on the View toolbar. You can rotate only parts and assemblies saved in Shaded mode, or saved in Draft Quality HLR/HLV mode.
Section views created using View, Display, Section View in the SolidWorks Viewer are parallel to the screen. This plane cuts the geometry so that you can see inside the solid body. You can set the spin box increment for the section view using the Increment box in the dialog box.
