Prototyp File

The menu command Options|Prototype allows you to save to a CadnaR file pre-defined program settings, thus making them the preferences for future projects. Once a prototype file has been selected, CadnaR will always load all the parameters specified in this prototype file when it is launched again or when opening a new file.

  • Open a new file.
  • Specify the desired parameters for, e.g. calculation configuration, assignment of levels to colors, etc.
  • Save this file as usual. Since it will also be a cni file, it may be useful to create a new folder for prototype files for better distinction.
  • Open the menu Options|Prototype, and select the file just saved. Close the dialog again by pressing the Open button.
  • Now select File|New: CadnaR opens a new file featuring the settings that you have previously defined on the prototype file. There is no risk of overwriting since the new file was opened "with no name".

CadnaR will open any new file with the settings of the selected prototype file until you select a different prototype file, delete the active prototype file, or move it to a different folder. If CadnaR cannot find the selected prototype file, it automatically uses the default settings.

Launching CadnaR with no Prototype file

When launching CadnaR holding the Shift key pressed no prototype file will be loaded.
