Hi Guys,
To clarify a couple of things you need to consider that some settings are saved in the drawing, and some settings are saved in the incad.cfg file.
Drawing Specific Settings
Cad specific settings that you might want to put in a drawing template such as layers, text styles (not labeling defaults), viewres and other command line variable variables are all saved internally in the dwg.
A quick way to "import" these into new drawings is to create a template drawing by saving one of your drawings with an extension of .dwt. Once you set this as the template, every new drawing you start will load the drawing settings you've defined.
Normally you will overwrite the existing icad.dwt template file with your own version.
MicroSurvey Settings
MicroSurvey related settings such as labeling defaults, or general configuration settings are saved in a file called incad.cfg. When you make a new drawing we copy this file into the projects .msj directory and it becomes part of that project. That is why you can make changes to the label defaults in one project without affecting your other projects.
You can update the default incad.cfg at any time by going to MsTools | MicroSurvey System Defaults | Save as Default Configuration. This will take the current settings and save them permanently to the default incad.cfg file. Then any new drawing you create will use these new settings.
