Saving and loading parameters as favorites

You can define frequently used parameters as favorites in almost all palettes and dialog boxes. You can store these favorites in a component-specific library. This is especially useful if you work in a team. The use of favorites and defaults not only means that they are readily available, but also reduces the risk of errors.

For example, you can save walls, doors, windows, dimension lines or light settings as favorites. All you need to do is click Save as a favorite in the palette or in the Properties dialog box. This example shows the Properties dialog box for a slab opening.

Note: The current layer is also saved. When you retrieve favorite files later, this layer automatically becomes the current layer.

Use Save as a favorite to save all parameters as a favorite file. Favorite files get element-specific or component-specific file name extensions.

Use Load favorite to retrieve favorite files.
