Saving Your Preferences
You can use the Preferences dialog box to easily change the ways in which Adams PostProcessor works. In addition, you can specify the directory to which Adams PostProcessor saves files.
You can store preferences you set for use in later sessions. If you are using Adams PostProcessor stand-alone, it stores the preferences in the file pptBS.cmd in your working directory. If you are using Adams PostProcessor with Adams View, it stores the preferences in the file aviewBS.cmd. The BS stands for Before Startup, meaning that Adams PostProcessor will read it before it reads any other setup files.
If Adams PostProcessor finds either pptBS.cmd or aviewBS.cmd in the current working directory or the home directory, it automatically loads it when it starts up. Since Adams PostProcessor overwrites the file when you save it during a session, you should not edit it manually.
To save a preferences file:
1. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.
2. Make changes as explained in the other Help topics on preferences.
3. Select Save.
You can also restore the default settings after making changes:
1. From the Edit menu, select Preferences.
2. Select Restore.
