Stored Settings Step
:
Most settings can be changed and stored by selectin
g a check box before you accept the
options. This method stores the settings in the Win
dows Registry for quick access by
PowerShape. Every time you create a new model, the
settings you chose to change will be used
for that session. Not all of the options are able t
o be saved in this manner. Some options are
model options that can only be saved in a Master Mo
del. General tolerance has to be saved in a
Master Model.
Open the option page under the Tools menu. Look on
the page under General>Units and
Tolerances. Select the check box like shown.
User options can have the default setting stored in
this manner. Model options have to be stored
in the Master model.
Make any changes to the options you want to be stor
ed as the default.
Under General>Properties select Restart with Stored
Options and check Store Restart
Options.
Now when you press OK, it will store the settings a
s the defaults so when PowerShape
starts again, it will start with these options.
To make changes to the default options you have set
, just select Store Restart Options to
save the options again. If the item you change does
not stay changed after you restart
PowerShape, then that option has to be saved in the
Master Model.
