If you modify your ABAQUS/CAE GUI settings (for example, if you change the size of the main window), ABAQUS/CAE stores the new settings and applies them to future sessions. The following GUI settings are stored:
The size and location of the main window.
The size and location of a particular dialog box; for example, the Open Database and Create Part dialog boxes.
The size of the message area and command line interface.
Whether the Model Tree and Results Tree are displayed. The width of the tree area is also stored.
Bookmarks to directories that you created when opening a file.
In addition, you can save your modified display options settings (for example, the render style; the visibility of the various types of datum geometry; and the display of mesh, element, and node labels.) You can save your customized display options settings in abaqus_v6.6.gpr in your home directory and apply them to all your ABAQUS/CAE sessions. Alternatively, you can save these settings in a version of abaqus_v6.6.gpr in the current directory and apply them only to subsequent sessions that you start from that directory. For more information, see Saving your display options settings, Section 50.12.
