Four
configuration files (dynaformdefault.config,
dynaformhardcopydefault, dynaform_menu.config and dynaform.ini) are created to set all
the control parameters. By default, these files are located in the “My Documents”
directory of the current user’s PC, for example, C:\Documents
and Settings\Andy\My Documents\ETA\Dynaform5.8 (Windows XP), C:\Users\Andy\My Documents\ETA\Dynaform5.8
(Windows 7). The
files are located in the user's home directory on UNIX/Linux, for example, /home/Andy/ETA/Dynaform5.8. The modification of the first three files may require super-user
privilege.
dynaformdefault.config primarily controls the default
settings of analysis parameters. Each parameter has a control flag to control
permission for modification. The format of each control parameter is listed as
the following:
“Keyword value permission key”
The user
can modify the default settings of most parameters related to a stamping
simulation.
dynaformhardcopydefault controls the default print settings. The format of each control parameter is
listed as the following:
“Keyword value”
The user
can modify the default settings of most printing parameters.
dynaform_menu.config controls the access privilege of
the eta/DYNAFORM menu. The format of each control parameter is listed as the
following:
“Keyword value”
The
super-user can control whether the user is allowed to define the access
privilege of the menu according to the command below:
Allow user to config menu: No <Yes or
No>. If Yes is selected, the user is allowed to
define the access privilege of the menu; otherwise, the defined access
privilege of the menu is invalid.
dynaform.ini is provided to save customized settings in
the database or in the user’s home directory. The format of each parameter is
listed as the following:
#DYNAFORM configure

#[keywords] value
#[FILE_DIALOG_STYLE]:
0 - WINDOWS style, 1 - UNIX STYLE
#[SYSTEM_LANGUAGE]:
ENGLISH,CHINESE,JAPANESE,KOREAN and so on
#[AUTOBACKUPTIME]:

#[AUTORESTART]: 0 -
