Wondering if this is a bug, or if there is a fix for this.

Seems that everytime I start SW01+ I have to View/Toolbars and enable all of my icon/buttons. How can I make them stay put?

I know I have read this before, but a search here and on comp.cad.solidworks came up with nothing useful. "Happy the Hare at morning for she is ignorant to the Hunter's waking thoughts."
 
I found it.

SWX enables certain Toolsbars depending on the type of file (part, assy, drawing) that you are working with. This feature was intended to minimize the number of toolbars on the screen, and eliminates the Toolbars that cannot be used for a specific file type.

To turn off this feature, select Tools/Customize/Toolbars and uncheck "auto-activate sketch toolbars." This should keep your Toolbars displayed where you want them. It seems that you have to do this once for each type of file (prt,drw,asm) you open for the firt tiem. "Happy the Hare at morning for she is ignorant to the Hunter's waking thoughts."
 
Thanks.

I find that having the tool bars jump around is distracting.
