Default Toolbars in Capture CIS

JMinCV
JMinCV over 11 years ago

Does anyone know how to set which toolbars are visible by default in Capture?  I would like the 'Draw' toolbar to be visible by default everytime I open the schematic editor, but have found no setting that sticks between the times I start the tool.  The Capture, Part Manager, and Search toolbars are handily checked when I open the Tools->Customize dialog, but checking the Draw box only holds while I'm using the tool.  

Is this a Capture.ini setting that I'm missing?  

 

This is nearly as frustrating as being forced to go through the exact same print setup steps everytime I want to save a PDF snapshot.

    The toolbar settings are in the Registry, close Capture (CIS), start regedit.exe, locate the key, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Orcad\CaptureWorkspace and delete that key and all subkeys, close regedit.exe. and restart Capture (CIS). The CaptureWorkspace will be rebuilt with defaults.

    Many thanks! I have to say I did not expect to edit the registry, but it did the trick.
