Sometimes Rhino is reseting all settings back to default, Removing custom views, resetting all tool to defaults. It is happen while Rhino is running, not while start a new instant
This is really really frustrating and i dont find any error why this is happen.
Where could i start searching.
Hello -
Do you mean named views are deleted?
Is only one Rhino running? Can you please post the results from the Rhino command SystemInfo?
-Pascal
I mean the Display Modes https://wiki.mcneel.com/rhino/6/advanceddisplay.
But settings like default file on rhino startup and tooldefaults are reseted too.
I have allways 3-6 RinoInstants running, but very short projects with ram-footprint about 200mb maximum

Hello -
Does any of the instances crash when this happens?
the first thing I see is that you have a minimal amount of RAM for 3-6 instances of Rhino running 200MB files - I would start there - get at least twice that amount.
Sorry misunderstanding. The files are between 500kb and 5mb, the used RAM per instance is about 200MB maximum. So there is normaly no RAM shortage.
No, no instance is crashing.
@JohnM - seems like Settings is being replaced 'on the fly ? Any ideas how this could happen? I’m guessing it has to do with multiple instances open but…
-Pascal
It sounds more like a Rhino is updating and extracting new toolbars and such “tooldefaults are reseted too”. I wonder if a new Rhino is opened on a new day after a update has been installed. Do you see a window pop-up in the top left corner saying Rhino is installing new toolbars when this happens?
Normally i close all Instances of Rhino bevor installing a update. I couldn´t say if a update was bevor by the older resets but by the last one there was no pop-up. The last update was a few days bevor but i defently have had closed all instances bevor apply the update.
The last reset was on the fly while i was working in one instance and the other 3-4 was idle in the background. But all have been reseted.
It isnt happend often, 3-4x since the release from rhino6. Never happend in rhino5
Yep, this has been slapping me in the face during deadlines for YEARS now. Just happened again today. I am sold on Rhino, but have never experienced this on any software package in the last 20 years. Just saying. BTW, McNeel is one of the most responsive (tech issues) software company also…
Hello -
can you describe exactly what was reset? Is this the same as the original post above where the user had Rhino reset everything, toolbars and as I understand it, Options settings, in mid-session?
-Pascal
Yes, thank you for your usual fast response : )
Went back to default layouts (I use my own layout that works best for my workflow), lost keyboard shortcuts and custom View settings in Rhino Options. It occurred after the program locked up and I had to reboot because I couldn’t force-quit out of Rhino
Is there any way to save all of these custom settings (layouts, key shortcuts and Rhino Options)? I have been making my living off of Rhino for 7 years, and should know this, so my apologies! The loss wouldn’t be so bad if I could quickly load in those settings. should I save out a custom template - will this save all of those settings?
Hello - use OptionsExport.
This seems like the thing we should dig into. If the resets are associated with a crash, we may have something to go on.
-Pascal
Pascal, I just opened another job file off of our server and it had reset everything again…I forget where those settings are saved (?) Where does Rhino look for custom settings when a file is being opended?
Hello - the application settings are read from
“C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\settings\settings-Scheme__Default.xml”
Window positions:
“C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\McNeel\Rhinoceros\6.0\settings\window_positions-Scheme__Clean.xml”
It seems you are having this xml file reset - are there other settings*.xml files in that folder?
-Pascal
I have recently ran the Windows Disk Cleanup - but that wouldn’t clean that out (would it?)
@deurton - I just chatted with the developer - he recently found and fixed a serious bug in this system that is most likely the cause of the problem you and others in this thread are reporting - the fix is in the 6.27 builds of V6.
-Pascal
cool - I am on 6.26 so will look for upgrade!
