Here's a minor question. In v19, the Print Preview window size is much smaller. Or at least it is on my setup. It's only a minor annoyance (though amplified when having to do it frequently) to drag the corner to enlarge the window, but is this a setting change with the new version and is there a way to revert/change it?

Hi David,

Can you maximize it, and if so does it stay maximized the next time you use it?

Thanks Mark. When I opened gui file the Width was set to 803 and the Height 540. But here's the weird(er) part: I changed it to your settings in Wordpad and saved it. Then reopened DataCad and tested it with a file I'd been working on, but the Preview window was the same size. So I went back into the gui file and found that the settings had reverted back to what I started with. I tried this several times (with DataCad closed each time) in both Notepad and Wordpad, verifying - by reopening the gui file - that the change was saved. Each time, after I reopened DataCad, it had reverted to that original size.

Befuddled. What am I doing wrong here?

Where is DataCAD installed on the hard drive?

Hi Neil,

It's in the default location, C:\Datacad 19

But to belatedly answer your previous question, I'd thought you were asking whether it stays expanded/stretched after I pull the corner, which it doesn't do. But I didn't realize you were asking about maximizing it. It DOES indeed stay that way. (Cue Homer SImpson "D'oh.") So it does what i need without playing with the gui file.

Good, I'm glad its working.

Just as an experiment, I moved the Preview to my second monitor, and maximized it there - and it sticks. Now I can see the layout and the preview at the same time!
