can I change default OPEN dialog box to always view DETAILS?

can I change default OPEN dialog box to always view DETAILS?

can I change default OPEN dialog box to always view DETAILS?

(OP)
When I go to open files, I want it to show the details.  Frequently I am wanting to sort the drawings to find which file I want to open, so I always have to click "details", then sort em.  Is there a way to set the default open view to Details so I dont have to go through this extra step?

RE: can I change default OPEN dialog box to always view DETAILS?

It seems to be "hard coded" into SolidWorks.  If you try to do the same thing in a Word or Excel file, the folder arrangement stays the same as the time before.    

RE: can I change default OPEN dialog box to always view DETAILS?

You can drag&drop from Windows Explorer into SolidWorks.
Just make sure you MINIMIZE any open views & it will open your part instead of inserting it into the assembly you might have open.


This will look favorable on my next review.
