Hi,

The Result propeties window pops up when trying to open a frd file. If there a setting to turn it off? Not to show up every time.

Cheers,

Cean

I don’t think you can avoid this window where you set the unit system for imported results.

Better set once.  
If need to change, show it again.

If you open a .frd file without the model, you must select the unit system. Unfortunately, the unit system cannot be changed later, so a default setting will not work very well.

I’ve tried setting this from the command line using **-u** but it doesn’t work when opening results.

I think **-u** was added to use PrePoMax as STEP viewer. I think I can also add support for .frd files.

That’s nice.

Is it possible to set up ModelSpace and UnitSystem in Settings, then initialize the model accordingly. Not Undefined. This setting doesn’t need to change very often.

```auto
        #region File menu #################################
        internal void tsmiNew_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //New(ModelSpaceEnum.Undefined, UnitSystemType.Undefined);
            New(ModelSpaceEnum.ThreeD, UnitSystemType.MM_TON_S_C);
        }

```
