Selection Scope

[spiritrider97]

On the Selection Bar, is there a way where you could lock the Selection Scope to Entire Assembly, so it wouldn't automatically go to Within Work Part?
In our group, to a person, we find the automatically changing of the Selection Scope to Within Work Part very annoying as we are constantly working with solids and components in the same file. While I understand how it may benefit others, it doesn't do that for us.

Preferences -> Assemblies -> untoggle "Maintain" (second from the top)

You probably also will want to change your customer defaults, untoggle the same thing under:
Assemblies -> General -> Work Part (tab)

Thanks for your help Jerry but it didn’t work.
I have a feeling it is something we are stuck with. We have been dealing with it for a couple of years but like I said sometimes it really wears on you.

Spirit, your first post doesn't make sense to me, do you want to lock it to within work part or to entire assembly ?
¨- does it matter ? - How does it matter ? - I don't recognize the the complaint from "my" users.

Toost,

Ideally it would be nice to lock it to Entire Assembly.
It matters to us as we move solids to a component in the course of modeling. And then we need to flip the Selection Scope to Entire Part.
We are probably a little grumpier here than where you are at. LOL!

I'm a little slow,
Can you describe the process of what you do / want to do ?
When you say "move solids to a component" ? you use Edit - Move command and move a solid body (inside a component) such that it ,say, touch another component in an assembly ?
