How can I restore DraftSight to default Settings on Windows?

Please follow these steps in order to return DraftSight to use the default settings:

  1. Ensure that DraftSight is not running.
  2. In Windows, open a File Explorer window and browse to this location: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming. If the AppData folder is not visible, it can be shown using the folder options in the File Explorer options :  View > Hidden Items
  3. Locate the folder called ‘DraftSight’.
  4. Select it with the mouse and then click the right mouse button and select ‘Rename’. Type a new folder name : DraftSight_old
  5. Restart DraftSight.

The next time you launch DraftSight, it will generate fresh user settings.
