RockWorks | Preferences | Export Menu Settings
The RockWorks program contains thousands of menu settings, which control everything from the size of the program windows to the type of contour lines to use in your maps. Use this Export Menu Settings tool to create a copy of the local (project-specific) and/or global program settings. These settings files can be used for backup purposes, to share with co-workers, or to submit to RockWare technical support. Once saved, the menu settings can be later re-imported using the Preferences | Import Menu Settings tool.
Menu Options
- Export Global Settings: Check this box to export the global menu settings. These are the settings which won't vary from project to project, such as whether the Help window is displayed on program startup, or how wide the Project Manager pane should be. Many of these settings are established in the Preferences | General Program Settings window.
- File to be created: Click here to type in a name for the global menu settings text file to be created. The default name for this file is "GlobalSettings.ini" in the current project folder.
! Be specific re: the naming of this file so that you can keep track of which is which.
- Export Project Settings: Check this box to export the menu settings that do change from project-to-project. This is the bulk of the program options - map settings, modeling settings, log options, etc.
- File to be created: Click here to type in a name for the project menu settings text file. The default name for this file is "ProjSettings.ini" in the current project folder.
