Reset object default settings

Anonymous

One of my talented staff has messed with the settings of the windows and I am getting an error message saying that a pen setting is less than 1 and greater than...... (and I cannot seem to find the error)

Is there a way I can reset to default settings of the windows?

Josh,
The only way I can think of to cause this error message is if
the code has been changed either in the parameters list,
where someone has changed the name of a pen parameter,
or in one of the scripts.

One way to get your default settings back is to replace
your library with the library in your install cd,
or replace just the library part with the same part from
the library in your install cd.
If this is not possible then you need to do the following.

Open the library part, open the 3D script window, and do
a "Check Script" by hitting the "Check Script" button at the
top of the script window. If the error is in the 3D script,
it will say where the error is and will highlight the line where
the error occurs. If there is no error do the same check in
the 2D script.

I'm guessing that the highlighted line
will say something like "Pen cpn" where cpn or something
similar is the name of a pen color.
Now you know what parameter name has been changed.
Go to the parameter list, look for any pen type parameters.
You can tell because the icon for this parameter type
looks like the tip of a rapidograph pen.
Check the names of the pen parameters and see if
the name of the pen in the script corresponds to
one of the names in the parameter list.
If it does not then change the appropriate pen name to the name
of the pen in the highlighted line in the script, or change the
pen name in the script to the appropriate pen name
listed in the parameter list.
