3DEXPERIENCE stores certain user interactions in files that are used to ensure that user preference or selection is remembered for future operations.
These are affected by
- Me > Preferences parameters
- Action Bar attributes
- Windows settings
- Licenses used
User customizations mainly using the various tabs provided in the Me > Preferences command are stored. For example, application window customization, background colors, part and print settings, etc. They can be modified while working on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform as long as they are not locked by administrators.
Also, user inputs to different commands inside 3DEXPERIENCE are stored. For example, if a hole is created with 10mm diameter, this value will be stored and at next instance of hole creation this value will appear as default. This value can be changed again. This improves efficiency, speed and ease of working.
These “Settings Files” are stored on the local hard drive by default and retained between sessions unless intentionally altered or deleted.
When a user is working on more than one computer and needs to have the same preferences and settings on multiple computers, then the relevant settings files can be copied and pasted with Windows Copy-Paste commands from this location between computers: C:\\Users\\
Deletion of these files causes the loss of user customization or preferences.
In some cases when a specific function is not working properly, possibly due to improper customization by the user, it can be Reset by the user under Me> Preferences.
