UI settings

(OP)
Hi All, Is there a way I can have a personal UI settings when it restored from server after every restart, I am mainly annoid with the options menu popping out with every command, each time I need to check do not show again.
then toolbars, performace settings, assembly fast options, command tips etc..
I cannot tell them to change because they need it since all of them are getting trained.

RE: UI settings

Well here on ST4 all my menu's and keyboard shortcuts are stored here:

C:\Users\[YOUR NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Unigraphics Solutions\Solid Edge\Version 104\Customization\New Theme 1

Periodically I copy this folder to my local documents, then when I lose all my settings for whatever reason, I will copy this folder back to said location. I don't think this contains your options menus popping up though.

Perhpaps ST5 will finally have an "export settings" function so you don't need to resort to Windows wizardry.

RE: UI settings

Thanks for your tip. I very much needed New Theme 1-RadialCustom file in that folder.
but it is not solved my problem. Since I need to play with huge plants (not even machines), it is my routine to do the following things after restart in SE Options.
#1 View > uncheck all buttons
#2 View > Arc smoothness > change the value from 3 to 1
#3 View > Refresh scale > change the value from 3 to 5
#4 Assembly > check Fast locating using box ....
#5 Assembly > check Fast locating when over path finder
#6 Assembly > uncheck Show part reference planes ...
#7 Assembly > uncheck Auto hide relationship pathfinder (I dont like it dancing)
#8 Helpers > change the Document name formula to [File name]
Not finished,pc
#1 Go to options in Assemble and check all buttons
#2 Path finder to the right side (I think that is the right side for that, just D'click on the top)
in all evironments I have to
#3 Take the QAT above the Ribbon to save the space
#4 Turn off all the PANES (I rarely use it)
#5 My face will become red when I see the option menu popping up with all commands.
Apart from all of this I changed my desktop resolution to half and color depth to 16 bit.
If somebody know something to increase the performance please tell me, I dont know how to simplify my Alternate assemblies (80% of my assemblies are Fabrication having Pre and post machining, so I made it in AA)
Thanks for reading.

RE: UI settings

OK, as for all those options: (view, assembly, helpers) you can go to your template files, open each one and in each one set all your desired view/assembly/helpers options. Close all files and save.

Your templates can be found by going to Options -> File Locations and then look for User Templates in the General section. If they are on a shared server, you can bypass this by copying the templates to a local folder and then pointing SE to this folder and then modifying them to your desires. Not sure your manager will be happy with that though.

RE: UI settings

The problem is property seed file, User templates, Material Table, SP SAC file & Report are in server and it got restored after restart. I always copy my own files and make new files from that, so template is not a problem. But even when I open an existing document I have to do all this exercise. As I said others are getting trained and that includes the IT people, they are refining a policy for all, and what I am doing is different. My question is that "is there a way I can do all these settings with a replacement of a file / import settings / a macro after restart", considering I am not sitting in one client computer always, but my user is same.
