Customizing ACTIVstudio
ACTIVstudio Settings allow you to change the form and function of selected tools
and ACTIVstudio features. To display the settings, click on Menu > Studio
Settings.... Select one of the tab names in the left hand pane to view the
associated preferences.
Any changes you make to the default settings will not take effect until you start a
new session of ACTIVstudio, or when you create a new flipchart.
A settings.ini file is automatically saved to the My Documents\ACTIVstudio 2
directory, which contains all the information about your ACTIVstudio preferences.
If you work from different computers and your shared profile is located on a
computer network, save your ACTIVstudio settings to your Shared ACTIVstudio 2
directory so you can point to your Settings.ini file and view ACTIVstudio in the
same format from wherever you open it.
Settings - Effects
To display the Effects settings click on the Menu > Studio Settings...
