CorelDRAW Help | Save and restore defaults

Save and restore defaults

Many application settings apply to the active drawing only. These include page layout options, grid and ruler settings, guideline settings, style options, save options, some tool settings, and web publishing options. Saving the current settings as defaults lets you use the settings of the active drawing for all new drawings you create. You can save all current settings as defaults or only specific settings.

If you find that the changed settings are no longer useful, or you no longer can find controls easily; you can restore the default settings by resetting the workspace.

To save current settings as defaults

1 Click Layout

Document Preferences.

2 Click Save as Default.

3 Enable the check boxes that correspond to the settings you want to save.

To reset the workspace

1 Exit the application.

2 Restart the application while holding down Shift.

Resetting the workspace restores the default application, document and tool preferences. Global preferences are not reset because they are not stored in the workspace.
