work part in assembly

work part in assembly

work part in assembly

(OP)
when i come back into an assembly, i want the assembly to be the work part, not the part that i've just come from.
  I changed the default, "maintain work part" in the assembly's heading, thinking that should do it, but it's still the same. ??

RE: work part in assembly

OK, are you changing this in Customer Defaults or Preferences -> Assemblies... ?

The 'problem' here is that the setting in the Customer Defaults ONLY has an effect on a system where the user has NEVER set this option under Preferences.  You see, since the Preferences -> Assemblies... setting is written to the registry but the Customer Default setting is not, the registry setting is the one that is used when a session starts.

Now one could argue that this is 'bug' and perhaps it is, but at the moment, that is how it's working.
