Tools Options "Summary" for SW2006

"Summary" isn't exactly the right name for this, since it's larger than
what it's supposed to be summarizing. This basically goes through all
the Tools Options settings and explains what they do. There are red
stars for things that affect performance, and green stars for things
that are new in 2006.

I've been doing this every release since 2001, and was kind of slack for
2006. A few people asked me about it, so I decided to update this for
2006. It has been expanded from 30 pages to 35 pages, mainly because it
now also covers Export Options which are not found on the Tools Options
dialog.

If you find a typo in here or something that is either out of date or
just plain wrong, please let me know.

go to the "Rules of Thumb" link, and it's the first in the list.

Reference?

 

Means you can "refer" to it from time to time. Doesn't make great day
time reading, probably better right before bed. Precious dull reading.

I don't think anyone at SW is using it as a reference document to
program against, if that's what you're wondering. Still, to your point,
it's the kind of thing they should provide instead of us injuns reverse
injun-eering it.

 

Thanks Matt - I grabbed it to read "when I have time." You know how that
goes - oh maybe some day, but at least I now have it a bit closer.

Thanks, Dale,

Very good eye to catch an obscure thing like that buried in the middle
of some dull reading. It has been corrected and reposted to the same
link.

Thanks again!

This isn't quite as action packed as your SWW summary. It might be best
printed and left in the john.

Matt,

I noticed that it is titled:

Tools/Options
Settings
SW2005

Could that be a typo?

 

Uh, yeah. If you re-download it, it's fixt.
