System settings
General system setup
When starting and while running the KOMPAS-3D system, besides the system files
proper, other files are used, including configuration files, library files templates, various
utility files. Default locations of these files and folders for temporary files and documents
are stored in the system in the way of KOMPAS-3D environment variables. If the variable
values are to be other than the default, use the Kompas.ini configuration file containing the
keys with the same names as the variables, and with the desired values. This file is not
included in the installation. You would have created it manually and put in the same folder,
where the Kompas.exe file is located.
When starting KOMPAS-3D system the Kompas.ini file is searched for only in
the folder containing the file Kompas.exe. Therefore, having the Kompas.ini file in
any other folder is same as not having it at all.
