Settings for parts lists are usually saved in
C:\Program Files\Solid Edge V17\Program\Template\Reports
(changed to C:\Program Files\Solid Edge V19\Template\Reports at V19)
Make sure you have write permission. Check to see if other settings you've created are in DraftList.txt.
I assume you know how to create settings in the first place? Right click on a parts list, properties, do all the formatting etc you want then on the first tab type in a name and save it.
To retrieve settings, when you create the parts list up in the ribbon bar there is a pull down (after you select a view) where you can select parts list settings. (Or you can RMB click on an existing parts list, properties and select there.)
By default SE lists them by alphabetical or something order (I asked this question a while ago you may find the thread) so by default you may not get the correct settings.
I've actually created settings for the different sheet sizes that automatically position it over the title block, so depending on sheet size you need to select the correct parts list.
When you upgrade you need to manually copy your personalized file over.
KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
