Optitex Setting Manager
The Optitex Settings Manager allows you to copy your settings, including configuration settings, import/export settings, layout settings, etc. from previous versions of Optitex, to a new version of Optitex. This allows you to transfer your settings, so that you do not have to manually set them up again in the newly installed version.
The workflow is the following:
-
keep you older version installed.
-
Install the new Optitex version.
-
Run the Optitex Settings Manager to transfer your settings to the new version.
Note: This
utility only recognizes Optitex versions from version 12 and later.
