System Settings: Start Up

By default, all system settings are stored in the Settings subdirectory of the application data directory. This means that changes made by one user affect all others. To instead store the program settings in each user's My Documents folder, select Store Settings In My Documents Folder.

If you want Autodesk Vehicle Tracking to automatically update the library files with any changes when you leave the library explorer, select Save Library Changes On Leaving The Library Explorer. If you do not select this box, you will be asked if you want to update the library file every time you close the library explorer.

The following checkboxes are disabled if your CAD system does not support the option:

  • Force Menu To Be Visible, if selected, loads the Vehicle Tracking menu at start-up. If you do not check this box, and the Vehicle Tracking menu is unloaded, you will need to load Vehicle Tracking (which includes the menus) manually by typing VEHICLETRACKING on the command line.
  • Register Commands, if selected, ensures that Vehicle Tracking commands are recognised by your CAD system. We strongly recommend that you leave this box selected. If it is cleared, you will need to load the Vehicle Tracking executable manually, using the Load Application command in AutoCAD.
  • Load Vehicle Tracking If Data Present. By default, Vehicle Tracking is initialised if you load a drawing that contains Vehicle Tracking entities.

The Settings Master Reset button is used to reset all the settings (including reports) to the Vehicle Tracking built-in defaults. The Master Reset dialog is displayed, which allows you to confirm and override selected settings. The existing settings directory is renamed with a date and time stamp. If you need to restore previous settings, simply replace the Settings directory with the appropriate archived directory.

Note: The new settings only take effect when the software is restarted.
