Tutorial: Restore the EarthApps Program Defaults

The purpose of this step is to reset all of the project-specific menu settings to their factory defaults. This will eliminate the need to establish dozens and dozens of settings as you go through the tutorial.

!!! NOTE !!! This will set all of the menu options to the RockWare defaults. This means that if you have done a lot of work within the program, and have tweaked a lot of the menu items to precisely fit your particular data, these settings will be lost. If this is a worry for you, you might consider the following: Before restoring the factory defaults, you can use the Preferences | Export Menu Settings option to store all of your current settings in a file that can later be imported back into the program using the Preferences | Import Menu Settings option.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. If you have just installed RockWorks you can skip this step because program defaults have already been established. (Click the Next button below.)
2. If you’ve been running RockWorks for a while (or if you aren’t sure), you should click on the Preferences menu and choose Reset Menu Settings.
3. Establish these menu options:
   • Reset Global Settings: Uncheck this item.
   • Reset Project Settings: Check this item.  It will reset the project-specific settings to factory defaults.
4. Click on the Process button at the bottom of the window.
5. Click the Yes button in the confirmation window.
6. You'll be returned to the EarthApps window.
