Reopen files when launching SolidWorks [VIDEO]

When working on a big project, it isn’t uncommon to have several different files open in SolidWorks at once.  If these files are coming from multiple different folder locations, hunting them down and opening them again each time you close and reopen SolidWorks can be a time consuming process.

That’s where the very first option in the SolidWorks settings come in handy:   “Open last used document(s) at startup”.

From within SolidWorks go to Tools > Options > System Options > General.  At the top of the list is the option “Open last used document(s) at startup”, by default this is set to “Never”.

When the option is changed to “Always”, when you launch SolidWorks, it will automatically reopen any document that were currently open when you shut down SolidWorks last time.
