How to change default reference set in Add Component

How to change default reference set in Add Component

How to change default reference set in Add Component

(OP)
When adding parts to my assembly, it always defaults to how the part was saved. I changed my load options to default to something else, but it doesn't work. It loads "Model" and I would like to change it to "Detail" by default as that is what was used in our legacy parts as the default. Don't ask me why. :)

Also, is there any way to change it so the parts don't load with remembered constraints? When adding certain parts, I have to click no to the option every time.

Thanks,

Matt

On the Assemblies Load options you can add default reference sets. Make sure the Detail one is 1st on the list. Than save your Load options

RE: How to change default reference set in Add Component

(OP)
I had stated I changed the assembly load options but it didn't work. I think I found a workaround though. I unchecked the option to skip the add component dialog (in customer defaults) on click-drag additions. That way I can change the reference set on load.

I really wish you could access multiple directories in "Replace Component" and/or replace components using the reuse library. When replacing a reuse part, I have to just throw it into the model and pick it from there (and delete the extra). Seems overly complicated.

Thanks for replying though. I appreciate the help.
