FT3: How do you "save" projection/grid settings to default?

auryx

Hi all,

Been playing around with FT3 again after a long hiatus. Something that annoys me is: my preferred view is to set the projection (to Orthographic), then zoom out to see the whole globe, then add default 30 degree latitude grid lines. But if I exit and restart the program, those settings are gone and I get no grid, default Equirectangular projection. Am I doing something wrong? Should these values save?

Thanks.

Try saving an FTW file. FT will (or should) reload your last saved file on restart.

[Edit]: I tried it; it doesn't re-open the last saved world, strangely, but always starts with a random world with the default projection and grid/zoom settings. If I load the saved world manually, it reverts to the settings I'd specified, which is useful. Wish there was a way to globally save those settings, though. Still - thanks again for the help :-)

Thanks jslayton, and sorry for the delayed reply. Work got crazy and I'd forgotten I posted this!

Will give it a go.

Under Edit>>Preferences, make sure that "Reload last world file at startup" is checked. "Reload last settings files on startup" will reload your world settings, but not your grid and other visual settings.

Yes "Reload last world..." is checked, but it still doesn't :-) Curious.

Never mind, it's not a big issue. I can just reload a world saved with my preferred visual settings every time I start up, and proceed from there. Thanks again for the help.
