Hi, all -- I haven't searched through the manual thoroughly for the answer to this, but I have glanced through and haven't seen it yet. So, I thought I'd ask here: Is there a way to set Carrara (I'm using CS3) to open with the following as standard? 1. When creating a new document, it opens with the four views as opposed to the "director's camera" view 2. When creating a new document, the production frame is automatically on and 3. when creating a new spline object, the spline modeler opens in 4 pane view as opposed to the director's camera view If it's possible to set the preferences or whatever (I've looked in the preferences and don't seem to find such settings), I'd be a very happy boy. Thanks! Dex

I don't think there is a direct way to do it. The indirect method will cover 1 and 2 though- just make an empty document (template.car) with 4 view and production frame on. Save it. Then open that instead of creating a new document. Not the best answer, but it does work. Markd

Thanks for the work-around.... Hmmm, C2 somehow always had the production frame on after I'd turned it on somewhere, but I don't remember how. Good idea, though. - Dex

C3 actually lost some of that capability. It doesn't save a lot of the settings that I liked so now I have a "default" file I always open first. -Kix

Me too.
