(OP)
How do you position and anchor toolbars so they are not shuffled around every time you open a file?  This applies to part files, assemblies and drawings.

RE: toolbars

Toolbars turn on or off depending on the files type, but try to keep their same locations.  Turning on a toolbar in a drawing, for instance could "push" the location of a toolbar used in drawings and parts so that when you go back to a part, the toolbar is moved.

The easiest way to stop the movement is to open a part, assembly, and drawing at the same time.  Find good homes for each toolbar and switch between each file type until the movement stops.

RE: toolbars

(OP)
Thanks for the suggestion.  I figured SW had a way to permanently anchor toolbars like AutoCad and a few others, so they would always be in the same place when you open a file.  But this solution is workable.  

RE: toolbars

SW 2005 does a much better job of this.

RE: toolbars

I can remember reading way way back that when you go to file menu and select exit when closing down SW(oppposed hitting the 'x' button), SW remembers the menu toolbar locations.

If the above is still valid I do not know...
