Again, very late to the PDMLink 10 party here ... In PDMLink 9 there was an option to open all files when ProductView was launched. This meant that components for assemblies opened upon launch rather than having to manually click a radio box to load them.

Does anyone know if there is a way to achieve the same thing in PDMLink 10 / Creo View? Seems a little silly to me not to auto load the files. If I clicked on an assembly visualization then chances are really good I wanted to actually load it and see it.

Take a look at the following article on how to set server level preferences for Creo View:

That article explains how to flow down settings but it doesn't mention my specific issue.

The option to open components by default seems to have disappeared. The question is can anyone confirm that it is indeed gone (may it just moved?) or if there is a work around to bring it back.

In Creo View 4.1 F000:
