SolidWorks' Power Hide Tool

The Tab+Mouse Hover in SolidWorks is an extremely fast* way to hide parts in an assembly that is often overlooked.

Swg

Give it a try;

(1) Open an assembly,

(2) Put the cursor over a part,

(3) Press the TAB key on your keyboard.

Viola! That part is hidden!

 

If you'd like a "Full Auto Mode";

Keep the Tab key held down as you move the mouse around.

– Parts will disappear one right after the other!

 

*Full Auto Mode still too slow?!;

Change your settings:

-Tools, Options, System Options, View, Transitions, Hide/show component.

– For max speed, set this to OFF!
