If you have to re-install SolidWorks or have multiple installations and want to be able to use the same Options Settings without having to re-set them all the time, use the Copy Options Wizard. This little used utility can be found under the SolidWorks Program menu. Start -> Programs -> SolidWorks 20XX -> SolidWorks Utilities --> Copy Options Wizard. This Program will allow you to either read the Options settings from another computer on the network or create a file (*.reg) that you can later recall. The *.reg file can be read using the Copy Options Wizard or by simply double clicking on the file. This is extremely helpful if there is a desire to have everyone using SolidWorks within a company to have the same default program settings. It is also a nice backup in case you must re-install SolidWorks or want to install it at home and want to keep the Options you had set once before. An alternate use for this is to have different settings files for particular parts. An example of this would be creating different *.reg files for different drawing sizes. You can simply double click on a particular *.reg file to quickly set all the detailing settings to be correct for a C size drawing. < Previous
