Lock Toolbars

[andrewdroth]

Is there a way to lock toolbar locations in Algor?

I arrange my toolbars the way I like them, and the next time I open Algor they have reset to the default locations.

Is there a way I can save my preferences, sort of like profiles in AutoCAD?

Unfortunately you have encountered a known issue in the software. Algor is indeed supposed to remember your toolbar locations between sessions, but it has been recently called to our attention that for some OS configurations, this seems to have broken.

Do you mind me asking what operating system version, bitness, and service pack level you are using along with the version of Algor Simulation? This information would be useful in gauging the scope of the issue.

Just for another data point I too have toolbar issues. I found that showing the fatigue wizard button on the toolbars would cause them to re-organize (mostly off screen) every time the enviroment changed, or every time I re-started the program. By turning off the fatigue wizard button things seems to be staying where I put them.

This is on Algor 2011 running on WinXP 64bit sp2
