Is there a way to force Creo to open a drawing with sheet #1 as the active sheet? Currently whatever sheet was active with you last saved the file is the sheet it will open up first. 

 

I have a need to force it to open up sheet 1 regardless of how the user last saved the file. 

 

Any ideas?

There is a product Idea (enhancement request) to do this but I don't think it is directly available.

You may be able to use Drawing Reps to do this but not in any automatic fashion without some sort of customization.

Like Stephen says you could do it with customization. One possible way would be to write a jlink (or use some other api) listener that would listen for a OnAfterModelRetrieve action and if a drawing then use SetCurrentSheetNumber(1) .
