Administrator’s Guide infra CONVERT > Configuration and Import
All the basic settings (“Settings” Menu in the program) and project-related settings (‘Project Settings’ menu) are stored in the parameter file Settings.json. If a user changes a setting in the program, it will be recorded here.
During installation, the “Settings” parameter file is saved at the following location:
%ProgramData%\ELIAS GmbH\infra-convert\Settings.json
If another parameter file is to be loaded when starting the program, this can be specified in the startup parameter file (see Configuration and Import > Settings).
Important If the parameter file is faulty, this can lead to a program crash. Please only change specified parameters and remember to make a backup of the file.
The settings are written in fields with the structure shown here.
Only values marked with can be changed.
Please do not delete parameters with this symbol or change their assigned values.
