GUI settings are always saved automatically to a binary file in your home directory called abaqus_2016.gpr when you exit Abaqus/CAE. For more information, see “Working with abaqus_2016.gpr files,” Section 2.1.3.

These GUI settings include the following:

• The size and location of the main window.

• The size and location of a particular dialog box; for example, the Open Database and Create Part dialog boxes.

• The location, orientation, and visibility of individual toolbars.

• Custom toolbars.

• Customized keyboard shortcuts.

• The size of the message area and command line interface.

• Whether the Model Tree and Results Tree are displayed. The width of the tree area is also stored.

• Bookmarks to directories that you created when opening a file.

You cannot edit the abaqus_2016.gpr file; however, you can delete it to restore the default GUI and display options settings.
