    I have a system with two monitors being driven
    by one video card. Is it possible to get 2
    drawing screens with SW?

    TIA,

    Dennis

    Yes, I cad stretch the SW window over both displays. I thought
    I might be able to have a different two drawing windows
    without doing that.

    Thanks,

    Dennis

    I haven't tried it recently, but you can (could) open more than one session
    of SolidWorks at a time. I've done this when starting from a clean empty
    file to replicate an existing, badly planned model, and had the old model on
    a separate monitor.

    I guess you would want to be sensitive to RAM headroom issues if you're
    doing assembly or tricky part modelling.

    Clearly you wouldn't want to be working on related models across the
    sessions.

    The screen doesn't litrally "stretch". The screen is
    simply pulled, or expanded over to the other monitor.
    The toolbars stay where they are. It's a windows type thing, like
    when a window is resized.
