As will be described in more detail further on, information of the options of the current project is stored in an INI file named OPTIONS.INI located in the SOURCE directory. For various reasons that information can end up being wrong or incomplete. That would for example be the case if the OPTIONS.INI would accidentally be erased. Another possibility is that drawing sheets with options are copied from another project, with a completely different set of options. The OPTIONS.INI would then lack information of the options that are present in the copied drawing sheets.

 

In such situations, the Recreate command is very useful. Using information stored in the drawing sheets, all options in use in the current project are recreated, and the OPTIONS.INI is updated accordingly.

 

To perform this operation, please follow the steps described below.

 

1.First of all you have to save the current sheet. If you have not done that when you try to start the process, you will simply face the message shown in the figure below.

 

 

2.Select the Recreate command in the menu, or type CAELOPTIONSRECREATE. In the ribbon menu, you will find this command in the Option Handling slide-out panel of the Tools tab.
 

 

3.A dialogue box, like in the figure below, showing the currently available options is displayed.

 

 

4.When you click the Ok button, the recreation is performed.
