Visit shared settings of myCADtools will enable you to create parameter contexts and switch from one context to another quickly and easily, without having to manually modify the options in each tool. A settings context is a file containing all your myCADtools options. You can create as many as you like!


For example, you can create a context corresponding to a customer A which uses a parameterization with options pointing to specific files, and a customer B which uses a different parameterization to other specific files. This allows you to switch from one to the other, quickly and easily, without having to manually modify the options of each tool.
