Creating and using presets for command parameters
Netfabb's commands can have extensive lists of parameters. Rather than typing and modifying them by hand every time a command is used, using the settings management is a fast, convenient, and also safe way to store and recall parameter values.
Settings management as it appears in many of Netfabb's command dialogs
The presets so defined are stored as XML files at %APPDATA%\netfabb\parameters.
| (dropdown) |
Lists existing sets of stored parameter values here. By default, if there is only one set, it is called "New setting". Any modification to a setting's stored values, default or not, is indicated with the suffix "(modified)". More than the currently selected setting can have this state. Caution: Netfabb does not prevent you from having multiple settings with the same name.
|
 New setting
|
Begins creating a new setting with the current parameter values, and prompts for a name. Clicking Cancel in this dialog aborts the creation of a new setting. |
 Setting options
|
Exports or renames the currently selected setting, imports a new one from an XML file, or resets the setting to its stored values, if modified. The name of the setting used in the dropdown is stored in the XML file and is independent from the XML file's name. Renaming alone does not save the setting. |
 Save setting
|
Overwrites parameter values in the currently selected settings with the ones in the dialog. Caution: This is irreversible and immediate.
|
 Delete setting
|
Deletes the currently selected setting. If there is only one setting left, this command is disabled. Caution: This is irreversible and immediate.
