Save DraftSight Option

Hi all

 

I haven't found the solution to my little problem with DraftSight yet, maybe you can help me:

I change parameters in the options (e.g. the rib style: arrow size, color...). I wish I could keep these options every time I launch the software. However, even if I open a document for which I had already set up my choices, they are given by default.

 

My question then is: how do I keep the options from one session to another?

 

Thank you,

Ronan

Hello

Have you saved your settings in a new profile?

Then you have to activate it, and each time you log in, the settings will be operational.

Hello

See if it can help you!! I think it was necessary to create a drawing file with all the parameters you want and save it; DWT and then retrieve it from the folder you have chosen. See the last 2 screens

Hello

Thank you for your quick answers that I only read much later.

Azrod: I tried, but the settings still go back to default.

AC cobra, I haven't had time to look into your solution yet, but it looks good. I'll get back to you soon.

In any case, thank you for your time.

Hello Ac cobra,

I tried to save a "parametre.dwg" file by changing the options. I then changed the locations of drawing files, external references, and drawing template, without success...

Thank you all the same for your time.

Hello again Ronan,

I just found it on the net, look at the end of page 2 and 3.

And if not, you have to go to help then help and customize

Still not successful...
I'm going to switch to system D: open a file already done each time I use it.

You tried to save one of these files in dwt or dwg blank and see if the settings remain??? And if not, you can save one of these files in DWT and delete what's in it when you open it to create another MEP file

Hello

Try saving your settings in a new profile, activating this new profile and then deleting the default profile, normally this should force Drafsight to load the only existing profile.

Kind regards.
