Controlling the Default Location of Parts Created by Auto Associate
The preference, Operation > Auto Associate > Store New Parts with CAD Documents, when set to Yes, specifies that the storage location of a new part created during an Auto Associate action be the same as its associated CAD document. By default, the preference is set to No.
* 
When the preference, Store New Parts with CAD Documents is set to Yes, then the CAD document’s check in location and soft-type are used to choose the Part’s OIR during auto associate. For more details about OIRs, refer topic, Object Initialization Rules Overview.
