    Whenever I make a new configuration,
    "Advanced options:
    Suppress new features and mates" checkbox is checked by default

    I find this option is almost never useful and I almost always have to
    uncheck it.
    This is inconvenient, so I would like it be UNchecked by default

    I have tried UNchecking it in the template Assembly.asmdot and confirmed
    that it is indeed saved with the checkbox unchecked.

    However any new assembly still defaults with the box checked.

    Any ideas

    Take a blank assembly and make the setting change(s) you need to and
    then... Click File-SaveAs-'Assembly Templates' save this file in the
    program files-Solidworks-data-templates under a unique filename and close

    Next time you make an assembly the file should show up in the default
    templates dialog and you can select it with the changes keyed in.
