Information which concerns toolbar customization is stored in the SAP2000v15.ini file of the User Settings folder. The software will resort to the default toolbar layout when invalid entries or another type of corruption prevent this .ini file from being read.

Backup toolbar settings

If problems occur with customized toolbar settings, we suggest the following process:

1. Customize the toolbar according to your preferences, then use the File > Exit command to close the software. This will save toolbar information to the .ini file.
2. Open the software to verify that the toolbar layout is as intended.
3. Copy and save the SAP2000v15.ini file to a backup location.
4. If problems occur with toolbar customization, replace the SAP2000v15.ini file in the User Settings folder with the one from the backup location.
