Extending program databases

In many dialog windows there are buttons that allow to expand and edit the program databases:

 

Define new – allows to add a new element to the database
New element is usually added to the *User* category.

Copy – Copies the selected element to the *User* category.

Edit – allows to change selected elements.

Delete – deletes selected elements from the user database.

Add to favourites – creates the *Favourites* subcategory in which user can add elements that he is using the most often.

Notice

It is possible to delete and edit only these elements that were created by the user.

Data that is added by the user is stored in the UserData folder. This folder is located in the main program folder (e.g. C:\ProgramData\Cadprofi).

Individual data is saved in the *.uuc files. These files have got a similar structure to the *.csv files. For this reason advanced users can edit them in a spreadsheet or in a text editor, for example in the Notepad. Less advanced users should only expand databases by using CADprofi appropriate commands.

To save changes that were made in the user files, the UserData folder should be archived. Thanks to this it will be possible to quickly restore the data after user decides to reinstall CADprofi software for example on another computer.

When CADprofi program is being updated, user data is overwritten, therefore they can be used in any new CADprofi program version.
