Good morning, good afternoon, good night, whichever applies to you,
I know it’s possible to open an assembly by right clicking in the drawing view.
But it opens in whatever display state is or was opened the last time.
This is what I would like to see happen; the assembly will be opened according to the display state, which is selected by the view.
Do you know if this is an option in Solidworks? Or is there another easy way to do this?
Have nice day!
As far as I know there isn't any way to change that.
clic the "second icon" on the top-menu.
The Merovingien, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
but it seems it's not working out how I would like to have it.
unless you mean another button than the "open model in position".
Because this button opens the model in the same view position and orientation as seen in the assembly or drawing view, but won't change to the current display state.
Try this macro: Open Drawing View Referenced Document you can then use Custom Toolbar to add command to the macro and then add shortcut or place it on context menu, similar to how it was done in this video for Open drawing/assembly in LDR: Large Assemblies and Drawings Enhancements in SOLIDWORKS - YouTube
Thank you very much, Artem Taturevich!
That's what i need!
There is only one part not working:
swRefDoc.Visible = True
It does not bring the assembly to the front.
Try to replace this line with following:
swApp.ActivateDoc3 swRefDoc.GetTitle(), False, swRebuildOnActivation_e.swDontRebuildActiveDoc, 0
Solved
As addition I added a button in the menu, now it works as if I used the open assembly mode, but more useful!
Thanks again, Artem Taturevich!
Does anyone know a solution for this issue?
