Note: if you have multiple SOLIDWORKS versions installed in the workstation, you will also see an option to select the version you would like to restore settings to.Ĥ. Then it is best practise to restore only 'System options'. Sometimes, for example when you are switching to a new workstation with different screen resolution and/or dual-monitor setup, restoring 'Toolbar layout' and 'Menu customization' might cause problems in new workstation, because some menus or dialogs might open at incorrect location on the screen. Select which settings you want to restore. You do not have to select it anymore via 'Browse' button. Now you have this saved *.sldreg file already selected. Close SOLIDWORKS and find the previously saved *.sldreg file.ģ. Backup this file so that you do not lose it.ġ. Now your settings have been saved in *.sldreg file. Press 'Finish' to save the settings to *.sldreg file.Ĥ. By default, all settings are selected and this is the most common situation.
You can change the directory from 'Browse' button. Select 'Tools > Save/Restore Settings.'.Ģ. Saving settings is really useful when changing the workstation, for example.ġ. SOLIDWORKS user settings can be really easily saved.
