F1.4, F1.5: Preference changes are carried over to other projects as well


Record #4261

Product Family: Software

Product Line: Aldec

Product Part: Foundation Schematic Capture

Product Version: 1.4

Problem Title:
F1.4, F1.5: Preference changes are carried over to other projects as well


Problem Description:
Urgency: Normal

General Description:

In F1.4 Schematic Capture, change the settings by View ->
Preferences for the current project. However, these changes
are carried over to other project as well. These changes are
not specific to projects, but rather system-wide changes.


Solution 1:

Foundation system settings are stored in a configuration file
called SUSIE.INI (F1.4 and earlier) or ALDEC.INI (F1.5). This file
is stored in the Windows directory. If you want to have
different system settings for different projects, then you should
back up this file, and copy the appropriate one to SUSIE.INI (or
ALDEC.INI) when you are ready to use it. To make it easier, you
can store the backup file for each project in the project directory,
so that you easily know which is which. Then, simply copy it into
Windows when you're ready to use it.
