Hi,
I am wondering how to open up an assembly in its "as built" mode (as compared to SolidWorks/PDM automatically pulling in the latest versions of all the child parts). Is this a setting somewhere?
Thanks,
Sally

Hello Sally,
Users will always have the latest versions if, "Always work with latest version of files " enabled under > Users > Settings > Explorer tab > Miscellaneous.
Clear off that option and users should be able to open the files using the built versions, When they were inserted into Assembly.
Hope this helps.

Ok, I figured it out. After opening (either read only or not), I just needed to manually tell SolidWorks to open up the last version of the assembly. I had assumed that because I had not created a new version yet (because I was in read only mode or because I hadn't checked in the file yet), that no new version had been created yet and therefore, there was no need to manually select the last version of the assembly, but I was wrong.
