Change Revit so it open the local file and not the central file

Is there a way to set Revit to open the local copy of the model instead of the central file first?  In older versions of Revit it would open your local and then you would sync (our preferred method).  Now it forces us to open the central and overwrite our local (not preferred)  The reason why it is not preferred is because the individual user loses their last used view and ends up starting with the view of the last user who saved and sync'd)  Frustrating when you leave for the day or weekend and come back and want to continue where you left off but now the starting view is not yours but someone else's.

Thanks but I do not want to detach it from the central file.  I just want to be able to open my local first or have a way that when opening up the central file that it remembers where each user left off.
