Plot Parameter File (.PPF)

Once you have modified the default settings in the Page Layout dialog, you may save these settings for later use in a Plot Parameter File (PPF). Later, you may choose to reload the PPF file and use the same settings for subsequent plots.

The PPF file is an ASCII file that contains all of the settings specified using the Setup Page Layout dialog. Although the file may be edited by hand, it is best to change the settings from within GM-SYS Profile Modelling to avoid errors.

To Save a Page Layout as a Plot Parameter File

  1. On the File menu, select Print. The Print dialog appears.

  2. Click Save Config. The Save Plot Configuration dialog appears. By default the file is saved as "gmwin". You may rename it and select a location for the file.

  3. Click Save. You are returned to the Print dialog.
