Here’s a quick tip to view both sheets of two-sheet drawing at the same time. (This works best if no other documents are open.)
- Open the multi-sheet drawing and have it active.
- Goto Window pulldown>New Window. A second window of the same drawing will pop up on screen.
- Goto Window pulldown again, and select Tile Horizontally or Tile Vertically. Both windows of the drawing will tile.
- Within each window, select the desired sheet tab.
This will allow for the viewing of multiple sheets of the same drawing at the same time. (Unfortunately, this tip does not allow for the viewing of different configurations for parts or assemblies at the same time.)

As a drafter, mechanical designer and CAD engineer, I've been in the mechanical design field since 1991.
For the first 8 years of my career, I was an AutoCAD professional. I utilized AutoLISP and many other AutoCAD customization features to streamline drafting activities for 6+ drafters and designers. I authored several custom functions, one of which was published in the March 1997 issue of Cadalyst Magazine.
Since 1998, I've been used SolidWorks non-stop. I've worked to utilize the SolidWorks' user environment to simplify drafting and design activities for 20+ engineers. I've created this website to provide current information about SolidWorks from a variety of contributors.
More recently, I am now employed by Dassault Systemes as SOLIDWORKS Sr. Product Definition Manager to improve drawing, annotation and MBD related areas.
