Annoyance with the “Open File” and “Assemble Component” commands in Creo 12

Hello,

Yesterday I upgraded from Creo 9.0.8.0 to Creo 12.4.3.0 and noticed an annoyance with the “Open File” and “Assemble Component” commands.

The problem is that Creo 12, unlike Creo 9, keeps the last selected setting in the filter “Type”. In Creo 9, however, the default value would be a generic setting (e.g. *.prt, *.asm, .....).

My question is: is there a way to restore this behavior so that it works like in Creo 9?
I tried searching for a setting in the configuration but couldn't find anything.

The only workaround I can think of is to create a set of macros to open and assemble the ones that preset the generic filter (*.prt, *.asm, etc.).

Does anyone know of a solution or have noticed the same problem?

Thank you

    Hi ​@bmancini ,

     

    I have seen this behavior change reported before, but not yet in the Community.  This change was reported in CS406108 shortly after the Creo 10.0.0.0 released and it was confirmed via an SPR that this was an intended change.  There does not appear to be any config.pro option, but your idea of a macro/mapkey should help to automate your need.

    The best path for requesting a change or the introduction on an option would be to create a Product Idea.
