User preferences are set in the Options dialog box.
The preferences you set here are local settings, affecting only you. Some changes made in the Options dialog take place immediately, while others take place after you restart Workbench.
Use the button to reset the settings visible on the current page to their default values; settings on other pages remain unchanged.
Note: An IT manager can a place a site-wide configuration file into the installation directory of each client machine to ensure that the Workbench software preferences are configured as the company requires. To force a preference to be set to a particular value at startup, edit \Program Files\ANSYS Inc\24.2\Framework\Site\SiteStartup.wbjn.
