I'm still working in Solidworks 2022, but I think my question isn't limited by the software version. In our assemblies, we work primarily on the " Default " configuration. As our work progresses, other configurations are created on these assemblies (most of the time the "Transport " configuration ).
Could you tell me if it is possible to open the " Default " configuration as a priority even if other configurations have been created in the meantime.
Currently, Solidworks opens our assemblies on the last active configuration, but it is not necessarily the most " readable " configuration...
PS: Yes, it would be possible to create a macro for opening (or closing) assemblies but I don't really like the " macro integrated into design trees" side that this would impose.
PS2: Using the Mycad tools, I can also use " integration " to force the active configuration of the assemblies but, again, this is not really a sustainable solution.
To my knowledge not possible, SW reopens on the last active configuration at the time of closing/saving. It's a bit the same behavior on PDM which displays the data of the active conf (typically an absurdity in the context of drawings that don't have a config)
Can a macro do it? Given that there is a possible choice when opening a SolidWokrs document?
I asked an old AI smart friend
"To ensure that this opening on the " Default " configuration is systematic without having to run the macro manually each time, the most efficient method is to intercept the SolidWorks file open event via an add-on macro or startup script. "
You can optionally make a recording macro that selects ' default ' and saves. Then you make a personal icon that calls this macro and you place the icon next to the classic save icon.
At the time I had made one to zoom in all before recording (which allows you to have a SW icon that looks like something).
