How to launch SpaceClaim using a specific user settings file (.config)

I tried launching SpaceClaim/Speos in batch mode using the option /DefaultUserSettingsFile

"C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v221\scdm\SpaceClaim.exe" /AddInManifestFile="C:\Program Files\ANSYS Inc\v221\Optical Products\SPEOS\Bin\SpeosSC.Manifest.xml" /DefaultUserSettingsFile="C:\Users\gmoysan\OneDrive - ANSYS, Inc\Support\userGMN.config"

However, my settings are not taken into account:

I expect SpaceClaim to be launched with the option "Axes" unticked as specified in my userGMN.config file:

<ImportProcessing>
                         ...
                            <ImportObjectNames>true</ImportObjectNames>
                            <ImportPoints>true</ImportPoints>
                            <ImportPlanes>true</ImportPlanes>
                            <ImportAxes>false</ImportAxes>
                            <ImportCoordinateSystems>true</ImportCoordinateSystems>

But "Axes" is still ticked in the SpaceClaim Options > File Options > General > Import Options:

What am I doing wrong ?

You can create an environment variable called
SpaceClaim_ADMIN_CONFIG

It should point to the fully qualified file name, in your case
SpaceClaim_ADMIN_CONFIG = "C:\Users\gmoysan\OneDrive - ANSYS, Inc\Support\userGMN.config"

It also can be a network path.

But you have to delete under %APPDATA%/Local/SpaceClaim all settings that it will be used. Then, you can add changes to you own preferences. Maybe this is also the problem why your current configuration/test is not working. I never used the way which you suggested, but I used successfully the environment variable.

@Gwenaël Moysan can you also share what's in userGMN.config ?
