The options available include:

Standard Include

The standard include file is an include file which is read in when MotionView is launched or a new MotionView client is created.  This file defines the default options such as Units, Gravity, and other solver options.  A similar way to specify standard include is available in Model > Set Wizard Paths, however this method is likely to be discontinued in future releases.

 

Use standard include defined in preference file

Activate this checkbox to use the default standard include file as specified in the preference_mbd.mvw file.

Uncheck this checkbox to activate the Standard include file file browser.
