Configure default settings for a trend file

You can configure default settings for a trend in a "Default.aaTrend" file and use it as a template for your new trend documents.

The trend properties such as border thickness, border style, background color, Tag List pane height and columns, and pens and their properties are saved in the Default.aaTrend file.

When you start the Trend application or Trend control for the first time, the Default.aaTrend file is created in:

C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Wonderware\ActiveFactory\Trend

To configure the default settings

1. Create a new trend file. For more information, see Create a new trend.

2. Configure the default settings such as the background color, pen color, and trend chart views.

3. Save the file as Default.aaTrend in the default location.

4. Restart the Trend application.

The default settings are applied to the new trend documents. To restore the default trend settings, delete the Default.aaTrend file and create a new trend document.
