Saving drawings and models

No, you need to be treated like a idiot because SW Corp is selling software to a majority of idiots.

There are a lot of dialog (idiot) boxes I'm sure many of us want to turn off permanently!!

I don't know of a way, but it may not be as stupid as it looks. Say you have opened some file as read-only and looked at some properties. At that point SW thinks you have modified it and if it's called in an assy, and you save the assy, it will try to save the read-only file also. Of course you know you didn't do anything and just want to save the assy you are working on, so you answer "No" to the question. That way it won't prompt you for a location for the read-only file.

The closest thing is to use PTFB.

This will do the trick! Goto :

Tools Options System Options External References Check Box second one down Don't Prompt to save read-only reference documents (discard changes)

Enjoy!

It should be smarter than that. If you haven't modified it, it shouldn't think that it has been modified. The situation that annoys me is when you change the displayed configuration it considers the model as changed. Of course this is because an assembly can be told to use the 'last used' configuration for a component. Perhaps someone can give me an example of where such a 'last used' configuration is useful. I have yet to come across one.
