Solidworks opening parts that arent supposed to be open.

1-I1E5KS Sep 25, 2009 3:39 PM

Ok guys I am having a weird problem. Say I have an assembly and part open and I am working on the part. When I go up to Window and select the assembly to make it active. Solidworks will open some other part or assembly just randomly. It's been happening since the the company reimaged my machine due to hard drive failure. Has anyone ever had this happen?

Thanks

I believe this was happening in older versions.

    Kevin ... Check Tony's image in the post above. Are your options set the same as his?

    HI James,
    
    This was a problem that was fixed in SolidWorks 2008 SP04.
    Please see the following related thread:

    I hope this helps,
    Jim

    Check the SW Knowledge Base for "wrong file opened".

Have you turned off the "dissection" function?
