Initial Start Page?
« on: December 11, 2007, 12:16:24 am »
When starting up EA for the first time one is presented with the initial Start Page. Is there a simple way to switch the GUI back to that initial configuration?

The reason I ask is that new users can frequently mess up the interface (sometimes just accidentally undocking/redocking dialogs). It would be nice just to provide a key sequence to reset the UI back to the default Start Page.

There used to be a way.  IIRC you needed to set up the default configuration as a "personal view or something".  Then when the modellers stuffed everything up you could invoke that view.

On further thinking, I think the trick was to set up two views. One "not to be used" and one commonly used.

Can't remember. ??? Anyone else?

Actually I think what I was after is View->Visual Layouts->Default Layout.

There is view selection via View->Visual Layouts->Custom Layout. This allows the user to customize 5 working screen layouts.
