Main menu

Menu "File"

Menu "File" contains controls:

Save settings - saves changes to the current settings file.

Save settings as... - saves changes in settings to a new settings file.

Load settings - loads settings from the specified file.

Types of uploaded files:

• Configuration files (*.xml)
• Skin Settings (*.cfg)
• Interface Settings (*.icf)

Configuration files *.cfg and *.icf used in nanoCAD Construction lower version 25 and contain settings that are currently stored in AppOptions.xml.

Restore start settings - loads settings preinstalled in nanoCAD Construction .

Important!

The function of saving the settings, when the saved file is the same as the one already existing, does not overwrite the old file, but complements it. When changing the standard, for example, from the ESKD to ISO, both standards will be available in the settings file.

Menu "Organisation"

Menu "Organisation"manages enterprise standard settings.

Enterprise Standard - a single configuration file (parameters, layers, profiles) for the enterprise. All settings are stored in one file.

In the settings dialog, the profiles table and the "Organisation" settings layers are highlighted in light gray.

Menu "Organisation" contains controls:

• Create organisation settings - command allows you to create a corporate settings file for subsequent transfer to other machines or for location on a shared server.

  Creating the settings file:

  1. After the command is called, a selection field appears next to each parameter and section.

  

  2. You must specify (check) which settings will be included in organisation settings. Then click the "OK" button. The dialog box prompts you to enter the location and name of the corporate settings saving.

  3. Indicate the path, name and confirm. A file with corporate settings will be created.

• Set settings file... - the assigned organisation settings settings file overrides the custom settings file AppOptions.xml. New documents will be created in accordance with the values in organisation settings settings file.
• Flush - command to refuse to use the organisation settings. In this case, the control file becomes the user settings file AppOptions.xml.
• Apply organisation settings to document - the command applies corporate settings to files created earlier or in another place that do not have these settings.

Important!

The user can not delete layers and profiles of organization settings from the corresponding tables in the settings dialog. When saving settings with new values, they are saved only in the current document. The configuration settings in the organization settings file and the standards within the configuration must strictly correspond to the downloaded settings in the application. If there is a mismatch, the override of the settings will not work!
