# Default Settings

Default Settings... allows you to customize the default user interface and simulation settings. Changes made to Default Settings take effect immediately for all new models. In current or previously saved models, changes made to Default Settings are either global or local in nature. Global Default Settings take effect immediately for the current model, but will not affect any previously saved models. Local Default Settings take effect immediately for all additions to current and previously saved models, but will not affect existing model entities. Figures 3-6 through 3-11 will indicate which settings are global and which are local.

Within Default Settings, you can specify defaults for the following arenas:

- Model (Figure 3-6)

- Object (Figure 3-7)

- Stock/Flow/Converter (Figure 3-8)

- Table/Graph (Figure 3-9)

- Text Block (Figure 3-10)

- Run Specs (Figure 3-11)
