BOM "Follow Assembly Order" - default checked?

Is there any way to default the BOM inserted to automatically have the "Follow Assembly Order" button activated?

I've tried hitting it and re-saving the template, but it seems to be an option that isn't pulled from the sheet itself. The system and document options don't seem to have a checkbox to always use this option. And I've searched all over online to no avail.

Would anyone happen to know how to do this, or am I just SOL?

Thanks!

I would think it would have to be saved in the BOM template (if you are talking about a SW BOM... otherwise if it won't save. You call your VAR and see if its a bug or intended behavior... I think its a bug, because you should be able to save that in the BOM template I would think.

8Complex,
How did you automatically have the "Follow Assembly Order" button activated? That is what I want, I never have it unchecked. I have to check "Follow Assembly Order" button every time I insert a SolidWorks BOM.
