Dual screen display

2D plans Layout

Hello
Does anyone have a trick to have the assembly on one screen and a drawing on another screen. The goal is to have the assembly in front of you to make the drawing.
Thank you for your help.
Kind regards.
Fred

Hello;
I'd say " Extended View" + Horizontal Tile (Shortcut Key: H) (with assembly and drawing open in the same Solidworks session)...

Hi @fred
You open 2 different solidworks: the 1st (the one you are working with) on one screen and the second (for consultation) on another screen.

Be careful when using this technique. From memory, your changes are only taken into account by the 1st open solidworks

There is also the possibility to open the assembly with Edrawing on one screen and the drawing with Solidworks on the other screen...

Thank you for your different solutions, I will use @Maclane's using the e-drawing.
Kind regards.

Be careful with Edrawings, they must be opened from an up-to-date Solidworks file record (By default they display the 3D in the state of the last record and this can lead to confusion.)
