Description
Using a default variable INITIAL_DRAWING it is now possible to define what Marine Drafting and Hull Design should do at start-up.
The following possibilities exist:
|
Value of INITIAL_DRAWING |
Action |
|
NONE |
Do nothing (same as Hull Drafting 12.0). |
|
NEW |
Open a new drawing named UNTITLED<n> where <n> is selected so that UNTITLED<n> is non-existing. |
|
LAST |
Open the most recently used drawing during last session. |
|
ASK_NEW |
Show the New Drawing dialog. |
|
ASK_OPEN |
Show the Open Drawing dialog. |
Benefit
Most functions in Marine Drafting require an open drawing so the first thing a user does is to either create or open a drawing.
This new default variable will allow users to start working directly when Marine Drafting has started.
Compatibility Constraints
