    Just found a nugget in SW2007 SP1. You can click in a drawing BOM and then
    RMB and tell it to open the part associated with that line item. Cool!

    Yep, found that one a while ago. Very nice undocumented feature.

    Here's another little one that is nice.

    Open a drawing, goto Tools > Options > Document Properties and look in
    the Auto insert on view creation box. You'll notice there's a center
    marks-holes and center makrs-fillets. Leave fillets off and only mark
    the holes. Makes this feature useful now especially if you have plastic
    or cast parts.

    I saw that and was tempted to turn it on, but I don't always put centermarks
    in so decided to leave it off. Good change though.
