How to always open the first schematic page when using "openProject" to open a .cpm file?

Gelzone

As title, I found sometimes I opened a project with command openProject, it would open the page I had modified last time.

Most of the time it will open the first page (and that's what I want), so I'd like to ask that is there any way to "reset" the status of the project or just force the openProject to open the first page only?

    I've had multiple attempts but wasn't able to reproduce the behavior you mentioned.

    However, I think there might be an alternative solution:

    you can register a tcl command that opens the first page of a design, which will be triggered whenever someone opens the project.

    Yes, I can check which page is open using such as cps::getSPathByTabIndex and decide to close it or keep doing the task. I just wonder if there is any function I can call.

    BTW, the process I have done is: open a page -> modify a properties of a component (e.g. modifyProp -name PART_NUMBER -value "ttt1") -> save -> do not close the page and directly close the ASC (Allegro PCB Venture 23.1 S006 (4217799) 7/18/2024 64-bit) -> reopen ASC and the project then it will open the modified page
