ETAS
The user settings are stored per Windows user in the settings.user file
which is located in:
%LocalAppData%\ETAS\MDA\<MDA version>
When closing MDA, the application creates in the named folder a file set-
tings_8.x.x.x.user. Wherein x defines the used MDA V8 version.
When starting MDA again, the available settings are loaded. If for the current
MDA version no user settings file exists, the latest user settings of an older ver-
sion are loaded.
You can copy and paste this file into the user folder of another colleague.
To deploy default settings to new users of MDA V8.6 the settings.user file
can be added to the following folder:
%programdata%\ETAS\MDA\DefaultSettings
When a user starts MDA V8.6 for the very first time and no user-specific user
settings files of former MDA V8 versions are available, the default settings are
loaded as initial settings. These are saved as user-specific settings when clos-
ing MDA V8.
The following table shows all settings that are persisted in the set-
tings.user file.
