General Improvements
Describes general changes and new features.
General disclaimer
If you are using existing user preferences from an older version of Alias, you may not notice when the default values of options change.
User preferences for Windows are located in C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Alias\UserPrefs2019.
User preferences for Mac OS are located in /Users/
If the folder does not exist, it is created the first time Alias 2020 launches. The following dialog appears:
Choose Defaults to accept the new default preferences.
New Created By option for files
When saving or exporting a file, you can now save the author information (Created By) in the Save All Options dialog under Save Information (File > Save As 
and File > Export > Active As ).
The author information is stored with reference files created from the saved .wire file. Created By displays in the Information Window when you view the selected .wref geometry.
New layer Paste Options for duplicating layer folders and layers
You now have options to duplicate layers contained in folders without duplicating the folder structure.
- Duplicate Layers (Outside) pastes copies of selected layers outside of the source folder. Using this option pastes copies of the layers at the bottom of the Object Lister.
- Duplicate Layers (Inside) pastes copies of selected layers in the source folder.
- Duplicate Folders and Layers pastes copies of the source folder and the selected layers.
These new options replace the Duplicate Layer option. Before using the new Paste options, enable them by turning on Always Ask in the Paste Options window.
For more information, see Edit > Paste and Duplicate layer folders and layers.
Pick improvement
You can now pick a curve by selecting a Hull or CV. Previously, you had to select the curve directly during pick operations for certain tools.
Disable Share View
You can now disable the Share View command (File > Share View) by setting the environment variable ALIAS_DISABLE_SHAREVIEW to 1.
New Draw Style options
To support the new Subdivision features, we added Draw Style options for the subdivision surface geometry and control cage manipulator.
Default Hotkey for Redo
The default hotkey setting for Redo is now CTRL+Y, to reverse your last Undo (CTRL+Z).
