Derive Configuration (CM)

You can create alternative, complete configurations and switch between them if desired (cf. ISD standard templates in HiCAD parameter configuration).

Derived configurations have a tree-like structure and function according to the same principle as the overlaying of values in user profiles, i.e. unchanged settings will inherit their values from the default values (ISD or Administrator profile) of the superordinate configuration. Configurations on the same derivation level are independent from each other.

To derive configurations, select Edit > Derive Configuration. Derived configurations will be displayed in the left pane of the window, under HiCAD >Configurations.

To edit a derived configuration, select Edit > Activate Configuration. The derived configuration will then be displayed under HiCAD > Active Configuration and can be edited.

Please note that you can only make derivations of the currently active configuration.
