Form placement options of axlFormCreate()?

Hi all,

I try to use the placement option arguments when i create my form,
like '("E" "Outer") or '("W" "inner"), but the argument seems not work.

On my screen, the form position with above two argument are exactly the same, why?

Have you meet the problem?

The placement suggestion is superseeded by the remembered window location. This feature can be disabled by setting the display_nosaved_geometry env variable. Basically, the suggested window location is only followed the 1st time the dialog is invoked, future invocations uses the last window location.

Thanks fxffxf,
I found this env variable in User Preference -> Ui -> General
and set its value to position, restart, then it is work.
However, since this axlFormCreate argument depends on env variable,
i think the availability of the argument is decreased ...

This capability allows to the user to position the form to their liking.
You as a programmer specifiy an initial "out of the box" location
