Presets

AutoDXF (from version v6) system of presets enables you to save different settings of the entire program. A preset contains:

- program settings,

- layer settings,

- DXF text settings

- Custom iProperty settings

- file naming settings.

The presets are managed here:

The Default preset is always present and cannot be deleted. It is editable by default and cannot be locked for editing.

If the option AutoSave settings in the Settings menu is enabled, the program behaves in the same way as in previous versions: all the settings can be changed, and they are automatically saved when you close the program.

A new preset is loaded by selecting it from the drop-down menu:

After clicking OK a new preset is created and selected:

Edit and Save the preset changes

All user presets are by default read-only. This means that most of the settings cannot be changed. If you want to change them, you have to enable the Edit option:

Even if Edit isn’t enabled the export file save location can be changed.

Click the   button to manually save the current preset changes. If the AutoSave settings in the Settings menu is enabled the changes will be saved when you close the program
