      In the Heating load area in the Project and application settings dialogue, you can make settings regarding the heating load in STUDIO.
    - Logos
      The Logos area in the Project and application settings dialogue allows you to adjust individual lines of your logo in the heating load printout by entering text.
    - Basic settings
      The basic settings in the Project and application settings dialogue contain file configurations for your drawing.
    - DenCAD (general)
      The DenCAD (general) area in the Project and application settings dialogue only refers to drawings that are neither defined as a line diagram nor as a floor plan. If you want to make settings for the line diagram or floor plan area, you must define the corresponding settings there.
    - Floor plan
      The settings defined in the Floor plan area in the Project and application settings dialogue only apply to drawings that are defined as floor plans.

General

The General section in the Project and application settings dialogue allows you to adjust the time interval for autosaving and the setting for displaying the product information.

Autosave interval:STUDIO has an automatic data backup function (autosave) to save your files at a specified time interval. This backup file is only used after a programme crash. You can freely customise the backup interval. The default setting is an interval of 300 seconds.

Attention

Risk of data loss

The autosave function does not replace manual saving of the project, but creates a temporary file in the directory of the drawing file. This file is deleted after the programme is closed.

Save your work at regular intervals and before closing the programme to prevent data loss.

Note:

After a programme crash, STUDIO indicates that an automatically created backup copy is available when you open the last project you were working on. Click Yes to open the backup copy.
