Saving the user interface layout

When you save a network in a *.inpx file, a *.layx file with the user interface layout is automatically saved under the same name (if this option is activated under User Preferences (Specifying automatic saving of the layout file *.layx). You can also save the user interface layout to a *.layx file under a different name, e.g. when you want to use the arrangement of program elements and/or graphic parameter settings in network editors in another network.

Note: Your user preferences are automatically saved in the registry of your computer. These cannot be selected and imported in Vissim.

You can also save several *.layx files with different settings.

1.  On the File menu, click > Save Layout as.

The Save layout file as window opens. By default the path to the opened network file is selected. The File name box automatically shows the name of the layout file. By default, the file type *.layx is selected.

2.  Enter a unique name.

3.  Click the Save button.

The layout is saved in the *.layx file. You can reload the layout (Importing the saved user interface layout).
