Description

Opens the user specific configuration folder in Windows Explorer

Opens the user Sovelia Inventor Addin configuration folder, “%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Symetri\CaditInventor%RELEASE%”, in Windows Explorer.

The Local folder is the default Sovelia Inventor Addin configuration and library folder.
The content of the Local Configuration Folder comes with the installation and will be overwritten with upgrades.

To change a configuration, copy the configuration file from Local folder to the same subfolder in the Common folder and do the configuration changes in the new file.
If only the files to be changed are copied to the Common folder, the others will be read from the Local folder and any changes in the default configuration that comes with new versions will be taken care of.

Sovelia Inventor Addin searches for configurations and libraries in this order, first in the User folder, then in the Common folder and finally in the Local folder. The first file found will be used.
It is recommended to have custom configurations in the Common folder, common to all users, and only in very special cases in the User folder.

Start from Get Started ribbon, Sovelia panel.
