User Settings in the Graphics Editor

The Graphics Editor allows you to retain your user settings applied to layout, views, and values. When you exit and re-enter the application, your settings do not change. User settings are stored in the user’s Windows Temp Folder, c:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Temp.

If you want to restore your settings to the last saved layout, select from the Options > Layout. The Graphics Editor will return to the last saved layout and settings.

The following user settings are saved automatically when you exit the Graphics Editor, and retained when you log on again.

  • The location of the Quick Access toolbar and any shortcut items added to it.
  • The size, position, and window state (maximized) of the Graphics Editor window.
  • The Ribbon status (maximized or minimized).
  • The Dock Panel layout, including size, position of each panel, if it is docked and where, if it is floating, or set to auto-hide.
  • The Library Browser filter and library selections, as well as the magnification setting.
  • The Break Lock, Logical Units, and Disable Layer Visibility Range options located on the View tab.
  • All selections from the View tab, whether they are visible or not. The only exception is the Aerial view; it is always visible in the dock panel upon opening the Graphics Editor.
  • All Value Simulator view settings and selections, except for the Run Value Simulator. If enabled, it returns back to the disabled state when you exit the Graphics Editor.
  • The most recent changes made to the Graphic and Graphic Workspace properties are stored, so that the next graphic you create, automatically takes the properties of the previously created graphic.
