The
SOLIDWORKS
Settings Wizard saves, restores, and propagates system settings to users, computers, or
profiles.
You can
start
the SOLIDWORKS Settings Wizard from in
SOLIDWORKS
or, from the Windows
Start menu, click
.
Selecting runs the SOLIDWORKS Settings
Wizard in a special
mode
that
allows
SOLIDWORKS
to remain up and running, while you save or restore your current user settings.
When you select options
for
SOLIDWORKS,
those settings are saved in a registry file, and
SOLIDWORKS
recognizes the settings from one release
to
the next. For most users, no action is necessary to maintain their settings. However,
you can use the SOLIDWORKS Settings Wizard to distribute settings.
You can save or restore system settings for:
- System options
- Toolbar layout (All toolbars or Macro toolbar only)
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Mouse gestures
- Menu customization
- Saved views
You save the
settings to a file and then restore
the
settings
to the following registries:
| Profile |
Registry |
| Current user |
CURRENT_USER of current user |
| One or more network computers |
LOCAL_MACHINE of selected computers
|
| One or more roaming user profiles |
CURRENT_USER of selected users
|
Only system administrators should copy settings to network
computers or roaming user profiles. When you restore settings to network computers, the
settings apply to new SOLIDWORKS users on the specified
computers. You can restore settings to roaming user profiles only if your company uses
roaming user profiles.
