One of the files in the file package is the file saveduistate.cfg, containing interface settings performed manually. This file can also be created using the SAVEUISTATE command. If necessary, you can replace this file in the package.

Editing the file package composition

If necessary, you can edit the LSP file describing UIIMPORT and UIEXPORT commands, and change (delete or add) formats and particular files included in the exported package of settings.

The UITransfer.lsp is located in the folder C:\Program Files\Nanosoft AS\nanoCAD xх.х\Lsp.

note: Before making any changes to UITransfer.lsp, make its backup copy to prevent loss of a correctly functioning file.

In order to edit the file, open it in any script editor, for example, in nanoCAD Script editor.
