myCADtools' shared settings allow you to create settings contexts and switch between them quickly and easily without having to manually change the options in each tool. A settings context is a set of your myCADtools options stored in a file. You can create as many as you like!


For example, you can create a context for Client A that uses a configuration with options pointing to specific files, and a context for Client B that uses a different configuration pointing to other specific files. This allows you to switch between them quickly and easily, without having to manually change the options for each tool.

Check the "Configuration with included documents" option (also known as "Attachment Management"). Instead of choosing different locations for each configuration file, all your files will be automatically grouped into a single folder:

Benefits:

✓ Simplified organization: all your files in one place

✓ Consistency across different workstations

✓ Simplified management of backups and transfers



Limitation:


[Insert a warning icon] In some tools, you will not be able to change the location of the configuration files.



The action above will therefore create a second configuration






The "Active Settings" column shows you which settings context is currently in use; it also allows you to switch to a different context.

The active context is the one checked

To activate another context, check the desired context.
