Workspace Settings

[Anonymous]

I have recently started using Civil 3D at my new company and the settings are very different compared to my old company. I go in to the menuload command and load all of the cui files the way that I want them and then I save my workspace and set it current, but when I leave cad and come back into it my settings are not the same at all. It's like it's not saving any of the workspaces I have created. Can anyone help??

What version of Civil 3D are you using?
The menuload command has given way to the cui command, in 2006+. And it could be that your customization file location, set in the files tab of your options dialog box, could be pointing to a different cui file than the one you are creating for yourself. (which is possible, if your company has a cad manager who is managing the cad stations)

Any chance you did not select the bottom setting here.

check your shortcut and make sure you don't have the /p switch. If you do its reloading that profile every time you start civil. you can also export your profile and the after the /p point to your arg file you saved, this will force it to load your profile.

where can you check your shortcut to make sure you don't have the p switch on. I am not familiar with this command. Thanks for the help though.

right click on your desktop icon, click on properties, then the shortcut tab. you'll see the target there.
