I'm using Solidworks Education Edition on Windows xp...

Anyway, I have two different assemblies that I want to combine in one assemly, however there is a problem. I would like the render to look as though one item is much farther away than the one next to the "camera." Basically as if I were holding a basketball next to my eye and also looked at a basketball 100 feet away. The one next to my eye would appear bigger to me.

It appears that it does not matter how far away I drag the two objects, they both appear the same size. I am wondering if there is an option/feature that sizes things as if it were real life.
 
Look up perspective in the help.

Try menu picks "View --> Display --> Perspective" and "View --> Modify --> Perspective"
