We use PDMLink so maybe this is part of the problem. but then again, PDMLink and ProE are both PTC products so you'd think they'd work together.
Anyway, Here's the situation.
I have several files open.
I want to open another file that has not been checked out.
I open it from the file open browser and PDM/ProE tells me the file is not checked out, do I want to check it out now.
I say yes.
File then opens but the window that I see is not of the part that I just opened.
I then have to go to the Window pull down to select the window of the part that I just opened, which is listed as actually being the active window yet it isn't. Drive me nuts. if I open a file, why can't the software actually stay on that window while it does all its stuff in the background.
For that matter, why can't I <alt><tab? to any open Pro-E file without having to then activate the visible window?
It's totally seamless to <ctrl><tab> between open files in SW!
