In the absence of a format program, ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform reads the enovia.ini file for the following settings. If nothing is in the .ini file, Windows file associations are used. This is not supported on UNIX.

Depending on the action—edit, view, or print—ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform looks in the [EditExtensions], [ViewExtensions], or [PrintExtensions] section for a line that starts with the extension of the file that the client is editing, viewing, or printing, respectively. For example, suppose a Windows client were to open edit a file called changes.txt, and ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform had the following enovia.ini setting:

[EditExtensions]
txt=notepad.exe ^.txt

ENOVIA Studio Modeling Platform would try to launch “notepad.exe” to the open edit function.

Note: Everything after the ^ character is ignored.
