Now set some user defaults:
-
Select Settings > Defaults > Main.
The H&S User Defaults form is displayed.
The options are:
-
Name
As supplied, the user defaults file is named DES-SUPP-DFLTS, and is stored in the directory defined by %PDMSUSER%. You can enter a different name for the defaults file here.
-
Revision
You can enter a revision number for the defaults file. This is for your own information; it is not used by the application.
-
H&S Admin
You must have an administrative area to which you have write access. By default, this is a Site named /HS-Admin. To change your administrative area, select the site in the Design Explorer and click CE.
-
Autonaming Area
Enter text which will be used in autonaming supports. The way the default autonaming rules are set up, this text will be the second element in the name, after the classification code. For example, if the classification code for a support for pipes only is P, and the text entered here is ABC999, supports (Restraints) will be named P-ABC999, followed by a number as specified in the rules.
