4.5 Company Options
Chapter 4 Options
When you create a new project, the default settings that appear in the Project Options are
those settings that exist in the “Company Options.” Therefore if you find that most of
your projects are similar, for example, most are 3D grid jobs using a certain grid zone,
and you enter most of the instrument settings the same way from job to job, then you
should set these options up as Company Options.
First, choose Options>Company. The Company Options dialog appears.
Then, change settings in all of the options dialogs to those settings most commonly used
for your typical jobs, and press OK to save.
Company Options are stored in the file STAR6.DEF located the STAR*NET system
directory, normally the same directory you chose to install the program. Whenever you
create a new project, this file is automatically read to initialize the Project Options
settings for the new project, saving you the time to do it yourself. Then, after that, you
can fine-tune the settings using the Project Options dialogs when required.
The Company Options default settings can be changed as often as you wish. Just
remember that changing default settings in the Company Options only affects initial
defaults assigned to new projects being created. Existing projects are not affected!
