Hello all. I’m in Windows 9.0.26041.13355, 2026-02-10. I establish a Window Layout in a particular file and save it and close the file. When I reopen the file the windows are not layed out in the layout I chose. Each time I open the file I have to go up to the Window menu/ Window Layouts and click on the layout I want. Shouldn’t it be automatically displaying the Layout I saved without my having to reset it every time?
Hi Cosmas -
Window Layouts is a Rhino UI setting and is not something that is saved in a file.
When you launch Rhino, modify the UI layout and then exit Rhino, that layout should still be the same when you launch Rhino again. And this irrespective of saving the layout or not.
If that is not something that is happening on your side, we’ll need more information.
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste its output here.
If you can list the exact steps that you are taking from launching Rhino to launching Rhino again, that would be very helpful.

Hey @wim how are you? Did you have a chance to look at the file? I attached a video of it showing my workflow.
Anyone?
Hi Cosmas -
I’ve created a YT for this issue - RH-93576 WindowLayout: OSnap Panel Changes Position
I can’t make out anything in your video, though, so I’m not able to add a lot of information in that report for the time being.
Perhaps you could export your custom window layout so that I can attach it to the report.
Other than that, I have to restore my custom window layout several times a day because the filter panel always gets added to the OSnap container and opening different panels tends to mess up the layout.
For the time being, I recommend making a single or double letter alias that runs the restore macro.
