HELP - Wings3D under XP/7 - Screen layout!
Posted: Fri Apr 08, 2011 10:53 am
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away I used to use Wings3D on my Ubuntu machine - but then, because I had to learn to use a tool we used at work anyway I switched to AC3D on my work laptop.
For a variety of reasons we're going back to Wings3D (mainly for some distance learning students who won't have access to our lab licensed version of AC3D).
Annoyingly I seem to have fallen at the first...
I have Wings3D 1.4.1 installed on an XP and Win 7 machines (students have access to both so I need to check all is well in both OSes). What I wanted to do is what I have always done - set up 4 window views X+, Y+ Z+ and 3D each in Orthographic mode.
So I have created my 4 windows, switched them to Orthographic mode and then gone: File->Save Preference Subset...->(ticked) Window and View Settings->OK
This from memory (on Ubuntu) always used to save not only the windows sizes and positions (which Wings remembers anyway) but what views they were in when you subsequently go: File->Load Preference Subset-> [name_of_file].pref
Has something changed? Am I doing something wrong? Am I just being a numpty? If I am - what do I need to do to do what I want to do? (WARNING WARNING *to do* overload....)
