Program Defaults

This section discusses and lists the default settings when you first run ProModel.

As in most software packages, ProModel makes certain assumptions regarding the most useful settings for the program. While your models may require different settings, an effort has been made to select the most common and helpful default settings.

Since ProModel can be used for a wide variety of applications, you may require different settings. As your models differ, so will the need to change these settings from their default. However, when ProModel is first launched and no INI file exists for it, the defaults in the following table apply. Some defaults involve edit field values, some are check box settings, etc.

Many defaults can be changed by selecting one of the Model Default options under the Tools menu. Other defaults can only be changed in the Build modules. Still others can only be changed by directly editing the .INI file.

After ProModel is first launched, the promod.ini(initialization) file is created. To change the .INI file defaults, you must edit the it using an ASCII text editor (e.g., Windows Notepad). DO NOT attempt to edit the .INI file unless you are fully comfortable doing so and only after you make a backup copy of the original .INI file.
