I would like to know where and how the changes to the configuration, for instance with or without scale on the screen

    Under View > Toolbars > File Toolbar, there are five tool icons at the top, one is called Configuration. It has eight tabs with so many options it'll take days to learn. The General tab has the scale options, Go for it.

    Thanks Roger,
    unfortunately my request was not complete.
    My question is:
    Not how to change but where the changes of the configuration are stored.
    I want to start .gmw files from different computers at a LAN and want to have always the same configuration.
    For instance the "Distance scale display Metric" or a newly created Area Style.

    Thanks in advance

    Armin,

    Most of those type of settings are stored in the registry under 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Global Mapper'. You would need to export that key tree to a .reg file, then import in using 'regedit' on another computer to pull in the settings.

    Thanks,

    OK
    that is clear.
    I still have the problem that I do not find back for instance new point or area or line styles that I created.
    I want to use them
    1. permanently at the same computer at different work spaces and
    2. also on other computers
    Do you have a solution for that?

    Thanks

    Armin,

    For types/styles what you can do is right-click on the type list on the Area Styles (same for Line and Point Styles) tab of the Configuration dialog and save a .gm_style file, then on the new computer right-click on the same list and select to load that style file.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,

    Mike,

    does that work with Version 9.02?
    At my version there happens nothing with a right-click

    Bye Armin

    Armin,

    No, that option wasn't added until v11 I think, there really isn't an easy way to transfer styles in v9.02.
