HyperMesh has a configuration file named
hm.cfg, which is read on startup and is located in the
<install_directory>/hm/bin/<platform> directory. The
hm.cfg file controls certain aspects of how HyperMesh runs. Editing this file allows certain preferences to be used
each time HyperMesh is started.
Each of the
hm.cfg Commands begins with an asterisk and is followed by a
set of parentheses that enclose its arguments. A command can be turned into a comment by
removing the asterisk (*) preceding the command. The commands are not sensitive to their
location in the file. They may begin in any column, with each command occupying one line, or
all of the commands may be on one line. The following commands are an example of a partial
hm.cfg file:
- *menufont(2)
- *titlefont(3)
- *graphicfont(1)
HyperMesh accesses the configuration file only during startup.
Any running sessions of HyperMesh must be restarted before any
changes take effect for that session.
HyperMesh uses the following search order to find the
hm.cfg file. If copies exist in multiple locations, only the first one
found in the search order is used:
- Start-in directory
- Home directory
- Customization paths
- Installation directory
