Understanding the powershape.con file

The powershape.con file contains information about the configuration of your software. Optionally, you can create another file and customize the details.

Note: The following assumes that C:\Program files\Autodesk\ is the default installation folder of the software.

The default powershape.con file is read from:

C:\Program files\Autodesk\PowerShapexxxxx\sys\misc\

where xxxxx is the version number of PowerShape and C is the disk on which PowerShape is installed.

You can make changes to the default PowerShape.con file, but these changes are overwritten when you install a new version of the software. To retain changes when future versions of the program are installed, create a customized version of the powershape.con file (see this page).

Changes in this file overwrite the defaults in C:\Program files\Autodesk\PowerShapexxxxx\sys\misc\, because anything new that is added to the program is included before the customized settings are added.

Warning: If the default value is changed in the newly installed version, the user changes overwrite this. We recommend that you check the powershape.con file in the new release for changes.
