# User Preferences

You can set preferences regarding the order in which objects in the currently loaded library are listed using the “Options/Preferences” option. One of the following three methods can be used to list your objects:

1 Time of creation -- Objects are ordered based on time of creation. The objects last added to the library are show at the bottom of the list.

2 Alphabetical -- Alphabetical order based on name

3 Categorical -- Objects are listed categorically. The categories are: "Image", "Graph", "Dialog Box", "Menu Bar", and "Palette". A "heading" is created for each category, with the objects listed alphabetically under the appropriate heading. Chick on the (-) to the left of the heading to expose the names of the objects. To collapse the list, click on the (+).

The preferences dialog also has options for specifying how SIMDRAW is started up. SIMDRAW can be configured to “remember” its previous window position, which library file was loaded. Objects being edited in either the layout editor, or a single editor can optionally be reloaded at startup..
