I have an assembly with a few sub-assemblies. Each of those subassemblies are set to be of specific rep in the main assembly (some are at Master, some are "User specified")
When working with the main assembly, when I right-click on one of those subassemblies in the model tree, and click on the pop-up menu "Open" - it brings a little window with the available reps, and I have to choose the rep that I want to open that sub-assembly in.
I am hoping to find a way to open the _current_ rep by default. That is, if (from a model tree) I click "Open" on a subassembly which is set to be Master - that subassembly opens in its own window at Master rep. If I open another subassembly from a model tree of a custom rep "No Fasteners" then Creo loads that sub-assy activating the "No Fasteners" rep.
There is remotely similar setting "open_simplified_rep_by_default" but it does a different thing. I am looking for something like "open_assembly_tree_component_in_current_rep". I looked at all of these variables but couldn't find it:
I am using Creo 9
Can anybody advice if this is possible to achieve?
Solved! Go to Solution.
I don't think this functionality is supported out of the box. You would need to use one of the toolkits or a dynamic mapkey to get this functionality (both which would require some programming).
I use open_simplified_rep_by_default. It's the only solution I know.
At the very least, its up to me to make sure I don't accidentally open the master rep when it will crash my system.

Thank you both for your comments, its not a big deal but good to know that this functionality is not currently available, and not just lack of my software knowledge.
Just for reference, a few links (for myself or others who may be interested) on this topic that I was reading - on how to work with reps:
