Hi Petter,
Thank you for your post. It worked well in the file I was working yesterday.

Coincidentally I just open an existing file (from an other project) and I am facing a new problem related with favorites.
Some how this file is not showing ANY favorite at all and doesn't give me the opportunity to load favorites from an other file (see screen shot). Any idea what can be going on here? Tks.
F.S.

P.S.:I have the same Work Environment as the other files.

Hi Fransole,

I glad that article helped.

I can't see the screenshot you refer to, but I can confirm that if you don't have any favorites stored in a project the Load and Save favorites options are not available for some strange reason! To be honest, I'm not really an 'expert' at using favorites so there may be some logic behind that decision that I am not aware of.

The simplest solution I can think of is to just create a single 'dummy' favorite using any tool, then the options to Load and Save favorites will become available again. Delete the dummy favorite afterwards.

Hope that helps.
