Once I have DataCAD set to exactly how I like it, I would then copy the entire DataCAD folder to a flash drive or to an external hard drive. I could do that quite easily because I keep all symbols/templates/drawings in their own separate folders. Then, when I encountered the problem as you described, I would overwrite the existing DataCAD. That would make it where opening DataCAD would show exactly what I want to see.
Thank you for the suggestion. I made a fresh new installation, modified my preferences, and saved a copy of the files that changed. There are really only 7 files that are associated with this and it's been my workaround for the past year. This is a good band-aid fix and thankfully I do not have to do this with any other of my programs on a random monthly basis, just datacad
