Changing PSSE Settings/Preferences and Defaults configuration - System Level Diagram Defaults.

Hello, everyone!

I would like to know how to change permanently PSSE default settings. More specifically, I need to set up, in a permanent way, the ‘System Level Diagram Defaults’.

I have used the setdiagresvrcs API and then I have exported a .xml configuration file. So, I have loaded the XML file after loading the .sld file, however, I would like to know a way to make the changes permanent.

I tried to change the .ini file in the Windows folder, but I did not have success.

Thanks, everyone in advance for any help!

Old post I know, but for anyone else chasing this like I was: setdiagresvrcs () and a few other sld settings-related functions have a keyword 'scope' which determines whether to edit settings for active, global (i.e. default) or both. From what I've found there are a handful of settings that will need to be done manually no matter what, but these are generally global settings or context dependent (like animating flows) so despite the frustration you will get a habit for which ones are the common culprits.

I've made a script for changing what require the most fiddling. As stated in the module description it's written to be loaded directly into PSSE, or drag and drop while having the active SLD open. The global parameter SCOPE = 2 will change only the active sld by default. This is still a personal WIP- see comments for things that aren't working yet or contradict the API based on testing.

Godspeed.

"""
This script was written for PSSE v34.5.1 in Python 2.7.18
Drag and drop into the PSSE GUI to run, ideally with an active SLD,
Although you can load using the TEST_SLD_FILE variable.
! IMPORTANT:
!   These functions behave strangely and the API is *INCORRECT* in several
!   areas.
!   For some reason the default values (_i, _f, _s) do not work for
!   these sld functions for some keywords.
! Make sure to set Diagram Items are NOT bound in Edit-> Preferences

This version is customized to be specifically for printing.
NOTE: If you wish to include animated flows and current loadings
    they must first be enabled in the active case!

GLOBAL Arguments:
    SCOPE {int} --
        0: default settings only
        1: default settings and active sld
        2: active sld only
    TEST_SLD_FILE {str} --
        Mainly for debugging. NOTE: do not include '.sld'
"""

SCOPE = 2
TEST_SLD_FILE = None
# ENTER sld path\\name to test - only for debugging
# TEST_SLD_FILE = "C:\\your project\\your beautiful sld""


def voltage_thresholds(scope=2):
    """
