Making Configuration Settings in AutoCAD

Use

The configuration settings described here only affect the material and BOM functions.

Procedure

The configuration settings to be made in AutoCAD are stored in the file called "gesprese.cfg". This file is generated by the program when the AutoCAD-SAP interface is installed for the first time, and AutoCAD is started for the first time with default entries. If you upgrade, all of the entries already in the file are retained. However, new entries might be added as required.

There are two ways in which you can change the configuration file:

Close AutoCAD, and open the file called "gesprese.cfg" in an editor.
Make changes to the file using the "GESPRESE" function in the AutoCAD application. You can start this function from the command field, or by choosing the appropriate menu path:

Command line
