- File tab
Options. Click the General tab.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Notifications | |
| Save reminder interval | How often the software reminds you to save recent changes to open files. |
| Synchronize with Central reminder interval | How often the software reminds you to Synchronize with Central (when worksharing). |
| Username |
The identifier associated with a particular session of the software. When running Revit and while signed in to an Autodesk Account, the Autodesk ID is used as the username and cannot be changed. If Revit is run while you are not signed in to an Autodesk Account, Revit will use the Windows login name as the default username. In subsequent sessions on the same workstation, Revit defaults to the saved username stored in revit.ini. When you collaborating within your network, editing permissions are based on the username. Two (or more) active local models (or a local model and the central model) should never be edited under the same username; doing so could cause the local models to be incompatible with the central model. |
| Journal file cleanup | |
| When number of journals exceeds...
then Delete journals older than (days) |
Specifies the number of journal files to retain, and the number of days to retain them.
Journal files are text documents that record each step during Revit sessions. These files are used primarily in the software support process. Journals can be run in order to detect a problem or recreate lost steps or files. They are saved at the termination of each session. See About Journal Files. |
| Worksharing update frequency | How often the software updates worksharing display modes. |
| View options | |
| Default view discipline | Specifies a default discipline for views where no default view template exists, or where a view template exists but no view discipline has been specified. Changing the current selection alters the DefaultViewDiscipline parameter in the Revit.ini file. |
