Ever have the feeling that you just discovered the secret key, or maybe close to it, only to have it dashed to the ground?
I have a repeatable, simple sequence that makes a folder not stay closed every time. I even tried rebooting the machine to make sure it was a fresh start. However, I tried it on 2 other machines, and they worked fine - the folder stayed closed. Rats! Anyway, in hopes that there's a clue here somewhere, here's my sequence, in its shortest version.
- Start SW
- Open a new assy
- Add a part - I tried dragging one in, and also "from file"
- RMB on the part in FM and "Add to new folder"
- Manually open the folder
- Rebuild
From this point on, any time you rebuild, the folder flies open. Saving with it closed, rebuild before opening, etc doesn't appear to change the action. What does change things is adding more than one folder - the opening pattern I haven't figured out yet. However, if you have more than one folder and then delete all but one, it goes back to the above behavior.
I just discovered something else. This folder action sequence is consistently "bad" only when using the assy in the same session in which it was created. If you save the file, it still works "wrong." But if you save it and close it and then open it, the action isn't consistent as the per the numbered sequence above. Rats again.
