how to change the pre-setup of corner in the ADE XL

Hi All

I got concern for the setup of ADE XL Corners.

In my current project, the Corners in ADEXL gets a pre-setup, which I am not satisfied with. So I need to change it manually every time.So, I'd like to know where the ADEXL get this kind of pre-setup for the Corners. and is it possible to change it? and how to?

I just learned some SKILL programming recently. and Thanks a lot for the blog's here. I more or less find a way to write a skill function, that can remove all the pre-setup of the Corners and put the new one I want. but I do not know how to call such function automatically when I launch the ADEXL, I hope someone can help me with it.

Thanks in advance.

    Search in the documentation for "defaultCorners". There's a cdsenv setting which tells ADE XL where to load the default set of corners from:

    In .cdsenv:

    adexl.gui defaultCorners string ""

    In .cdsinit or the CIW:

     envSetVal( "adexl.gui" "defaultCorners" 'string "" )

    The string at the end would be the path to an "SDB" file (as saved from the Corners UI). If it's set to "", then no default corners will be loaded.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
