Defaults Tab

Defines the default settings. for AVEVA Diagrams.

In the Diagrams Options Defaults section tab, there are a several settings that will control the operation of the application. On the left pane is a tree structure showing the organization of the settings by group. When a group is selected, the settings in that group are presented in the window to the right. At the bottom of that pane there is a grey box providing an explanation for each setting.

The settings are further described in the documentation for the respective functions.

If changes have been made when the dialog is closed by clicking the OK button, the dialog window shown below will appear. In case the user clicks Yes the changes will be saved for the next program session. If the user clicks No, the settings will only apply to the current program session.

By default changes to Diagrams Options Defaults are saved to %PDMSDFLTS%/Diagrams/ which usually is a machine specific location and should be configured separately on each machine. It is also possible to configure a project with Diagrams Options Defaults. For further information about handling settings files, refer to Document Files, Sessions.

On startup the application will attempt to find a valid settings file in any of the folders specified in %PDMSDFLTS% with a subfolder, Diagrams. If a valid settings file is found, the location will be remembered, so when the settings are changed and the user has requested them stored, the file will be overwritten with the new settings' values.
