Reloading Program States

It is often useful to save certain program settings and then be able to reload them at a later time to restore the program to a previous state, such as:

• the models loaded in D3PLOT
• the number of graphics windows
• the camera position
• the blanking status of entities
• the current display options

D3PLOT has a few different methods for doing this, each one saving and reloading a different batch of settings. Each method is described in the manual, but they are all in different sections making it difficult to compare each one.

This section aims to summarise each method in a single location so that they can easily be compared and make it easier for the user to decide which one is most appropriate for their situation.
