Runtime Settings Files

The app creates, seeds, or upgrades JSON files as needed. Use Settings Folder to open the runtime user settings directory. Back up files before hand-editing them.

Default Settings And User Settings

Runtime user settings are stored under the app user settings folder when available.
Shipped deployment defaults are read from {AppRoot}/DefaultSettings.
For the four settings files supported by an installed MSI profile, customer defaults in %ProgramData%\INNOWORKS\Model Vista\Deployment\DefaultSettings take precedence over shipped defaults. See Custom Installation for the supported files and deployment steps.
When a user settings file is missing, the app copies the applicable default file into the user Settings folder. If no default file is available, it uses built-in defaults.
After a user settings file exists, that user file overrides the default seed file. Changing shipped defaults or installing a new customer profile does not overwrite existing user settings automatically.
This is intended for shared or centrally deployed installs: an IT admin can supply first-run defaults while each user keeps their own overrides.
