2012 Open file defaults to Assembly
2012 Open file defaults to Assembly
(OP)
This is not a huge problem, but it has been annoying me for 2 weeks now since installing 2012. Whenever I click on the "open file" icon the default file type is assembly. 9 out of 10 times I am trying to open a part file not an assembly, which requires me to change the drop down to all files. Does anyone know how/ where to change the default file type setting for this?
Thank you!
Thank you!

"Mine defaults to whatever type was last opened."
Does this work for 2010?

It is always a good idea to tell us which OS you are running SW on. I don't have this problem on Windows98.

I am running Windows 7 (64bit). I have been running Solidworks since 2005 and like most of you, the type of file type is usually what was opened last, but this has changed on my 2012 version to always defaulting to assembly.

The 0 setting is usually used to disable the function.
