Unfolded function Merge faces option checked once and for all

Hello again,

On Solidworks 2020, we encounter differences in the options checked by default for the Unfold feature.

On some machines, the Face Merge  option is checked by default and we're very happy... But on other machines, you have to edit the function for each unfolded and check the merge option each time. It's rather painful or very laborious to put it politely.

Tell me there's a way to enable it by default on this rebellious machine and you'll save my week... I remind you that I only have 2 days on Solidworks , that's why this manipulation may have escaped me...  

Thank you to all of you. 

Hello be

I managed to keep it checked by creating a document template for a part, 

  1. Create an unfolded sheet metal,
  2. Check the option, 
  3. Delete sheet metal functions. 
  4. Save as template". Prtdot"

Hello Lynk and thank you. 

It seemed to me that it was a question of a model document Pièce. Just a detail: Where do we remove the sheet metal functions?

I remind you that I am a real newbie and the functions are still a bit mysterious to me.

 

Thank you again.

 

These are the functions in the creation tree, so as not to have pre-drawings  for each new part:)

Thank you very much!

I'll test it on Monday morning!

Have a nice weekend. 

Apparently no need, 

After solidworks and Windows restart tests, it seems that solidworks remembers the last choice so it stays checked until you uncheck it

Hello again,

Test done just now on the recalcitrant machine. AND apparently everything is OK. 

Thanks again!
