Hello;
If I open a Solidworks session, I'll sometimes open a second session. If I then go to open a file, let's say by double clicking, it will open up in the second session contrary to the first. Is there a way to control which session SW choses to open the files in? It used to open in the first before I changed computers.
Thanks in advance for any input;

Don't open by double-clicking.
Drag to the session you want it opened in, or simply open it from within that session.
Hello;
Thanks for the reply. The drag drop worked. I should have mentioned we have Pdm Pro, & sometimes I'll have done a search and the files will be right there for opening etc. From there I'll double or right click the file, which is easier than going through the channels from the session. It's good to know files can just be dragged to the session of choice from that location.
Thanks,

Hello;
I still find that going into the pdm search & double clicking the file can be more convenient at times, as a drag drop if assemblies are opened can be mis-interpreted as a insert component or assy. etc., then you might find yourself closing various applications which becomes again time consuming. So again if I do a search in pdm, then wish to open a file, if I double click it opens generally in the second session of SW, or the secondary monitor side of my system. I would like it to open in the primary session & primary monitor. This just happened when I got a new computer, & we also went from windows 7 to 10.
Any other Ideas at all on this topic?
Thanks again in advance for any input.
