Anand, It depends on the version of DS/OS you are using. If my memory is any good tonight in one version of OS there was a box under the settings tab that allowed you to "Use machine settings from Design" or something of that nature. In my 06 version I cannot find this option. This lets you specify the settings you want the OS to work under. Then as you change them you can use the "save as" option under the file tab to keep up with what you are doing. If this procedure has been removed from the later versions it needs to be replaced. IMO, once we find what works the ability to save it and come back to it is a huge timesaver. I hope this addresses your issue.
