Preferences > User Options > Save Options

The options file contains the values of most Alias option boxes. When an options file is loaded, the settings of these options are restored to the values saved in the options file, or to the system defaults, if the file Alias_options is loaded.

To create a set of options that will automatically load when you start Alias, set the options boxes to the values you want, and create an options file named <product_name>_user_options. For example, if you are running Automotive, call the file Automotive_user_options. This file loads automatically whenever you run the corresponding Alias product, and sets the initial values of the option boxes.

To save options

Choose Preferences > User options > Save options from the menu bar. The file browser appears.
If using the Alias browser, click the Show List button to display the list of files.
By default, the filename is set to <product_name>_user_options.
To change the filename, type a new name in the field. You can also click an existing filename or double-click its icon in the file lister.

NoteYou cannot replace the system default file named Alias_options. You must provide a different name.
Click the Save or Save Options button.
