When they introduce the dissection, I was super excited about it. But as time progressed, I found it was the last thing you thought about when you wanted to reuse a design element. I have also noticed that most people in 2008 turned off the windows search, which made the tool unusable.

Well this quiet discussion thread confirms my theory!

Just for fun, I am going to ask the group of people who attend my presentation if anyone uses it. I have a pretty good feeling that not a single hand will go up.

At a certain predefined time, SolidWorks will go through your files and pull out the sketches and features that were used to make the parts.

Now while you are designing, the collected features are available via drag and drop from the Task Pane.

BTW, There were a few that knew of it, but no one used it in production.
