Restore TABs

Bruce
Expert
Just started a new job, and have made the switch from PC to Mac. Bit of a learning curve...

Can anyone tell me which setting to change so tabs that were open when I close a session, reopen when I start back up again? This was default on PC, and I can't find anything obvious in the Work Environment.

Ta,

Save and share your Work Environment to use it (on W10 and macOS without difference) just before leaving Archicad

I know how to save a work environment...but I've never heard of sharing one before. What do you mean by that?

You can save (Export) your Work Environment and then you have a file that you can Import (I assume this is what Christophe means by share) into any other machine.

I am not familiar with MACs, but in Windows, the file will open with the same tabs as when it was saved.
I am not aware of any setting to alter this.

Thanks Barry. I was aware of all this. The MAC (in Teamwork) seems to close all the tabs when quitting ARCHICAD, even if you don't leave the project. A minor nuisance, but as you say, it doesn't do this in Windows.

I use Mac and Run into the same issue for one project, but another project will remember which tabs I had open. In some ways it is nice to have them close as others tend to open many that I don't want. But I am puzzled why it is this way for one project and not another. I have searched for the control switch.
