new drawing disable new model view on creation
Is it possible to disable the property manager to show the model view creation wizard when creating a new drawing?
I think I had a registry flag for that but it seems it does not work.
Or it was a template setting?

"Start Insert Model View command for a New Drawing"=dword:00000000

That's strange. I've just tested it in both 2022 SP5 and 2023 SP5 and in both versions it worked well.
Re: new drawing disable new model view on creation
I will test it tomorrow with 2023.
For other troubles I had, I discovered that some registry setting was not working if another (unrelated) setting was turned off or on.

Re: new drawing disable new model view on creation
If I start the model view command the autocreation option is unchecked and I have the registry key already set at zero.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks\SOLIDWORKS 2023\General]
"Start Insert Model View command for a New Drawing"=dword:00000000
And still it does not work. I suspect another setting is causing the error, like the performance dialog that is not suppressed if the save timeout is not active. Nice combination!

Re: new drawing disable new model view on creation
Maybe I'm getting it wrong. What exactly would you expect to happen? Do you just want to place a view without the model view PM pages? Maybe you should use the view palette then.
Re: new drawing disable new model view on creation
just open the empty drawing leaving the user the choice of the first command. like adding the basic 3 views...
I sort of got it working, but I do not know why. But it is not that single registry key alone I suspect.

Re: new drawing disable new model view on creation
no luck. when I reset solidworks to our defauts the model view creation is disable in both the ui and the registry, but still show the creation dialog when making a new drawing.
I am at loss.

Re: new drawing disable new model view on creation
Are you making the drawing from a model using Make Drawing option or using File > New to start a new drawing?

make drawing from part-assrmbly
Re: new drawing disable new model view on creation
Well in this case, the behavior is correct i.e. SW will start the model view creation. And in case you directly start a drawing using FIle > New, then you should not get the model view option if you have the option unchecked.
