Client Settings ​

Client settings control how WSi looks and behaves for you — they are personal to your workstation and independent of any project. Settings → Client opens a dialog in which each of the following pages covers one area.

Language and Units ​

Settings → Client → Localization settings

Controls the language of the interface, your preferred unit system, and how currency is displayed.

See Localization Settings for the full reference.

3D View Controls ​

Settings → Client → 3D View and Control

Configures how you navigate the 3D views with your mouse and keyboard — projection, buttons, and modifiers.

See 3D View Settings for the full reference.

GUI display options ​

Settings → Client → GUI configuration

Controls what information is shown in the document graph and tree views — cost display, duration format, and count visibility.

See GUI Config for the full reference.

Auto-Save ​

Settings → Client → Autosave configuration

Keeps a backup of your work at regular intervals.

See Autosave for the full reference.

Nesting, sheet upper side, and screw threads ​

Settings → Client → Miscellaneous settings

Sets the Sheet nesting mode, Tube nesting mode, and Sheet upper side for your workstation. With Application default, the value from the database's Advanced Settings applies. The Automatically assign screw threads checkbox controls automatic screw thread assignment.

See Nestor Settings, CAD Import Settings, and Screw Thread Assignment for the full reference.

Script Directory ​

Settings → Client → Local script directory

Points WSi to a folder on your machine that contains configuration scripts used by your organisation (CAD import templates, ERP integration scripts, etc.). Contact your sales representative at WSoptics to obtain the correct directory for your setup.

Choose the folder with Select directory; Clear directory clears this setting.

ERP Settings ​

Settings → Client → Local ERP settings

Configures the connection between WSi and your ERP system. The page holds the ERP integration — server URL and export format for ERP export — and below it the credentials for the ERP server (learn more).

These are pre-configured by your administrator or WSoptics sales representative — you generally do not need to change them manually. See ERP Export for the full export workflow.

Other client settings ​

The Settings → Client dialog also contains:

Reset ​

Settings → Client → Reset options offers buttons to change the database, replace the licence key, or perform a full client reset. See Reset Options for details.
