2.3.7.1. Configuration

2.3.7.1.1. Tabbed page "Simple"
2.3.7.1.2. Adjust templates
2.3.7.1.3. NoSection

The following table gives an overview of all settings options. The sub-chapters give more in-depth information for certain keys.

Usually you make adjustments in the Category CAD integration -> SolidWorks. In some cases, if you want to use complex syntax, then make the adjustments in the Category Configuration files -> $CADENAS_SETUP -> ifsolidworks.cfg.

The following table gives a good overview of all keys and contains references to specific in-depth chapters. In addition you can see which features in PARTsolutions V8.1 were configured in which configuration files.
