16.1 Tree Preference Sets

TreeAge Pro allows you to save and load Tree Preference Sets, which include all the preference settings from the Tree Preferences Dialog. For example, you might regularly create two kinds of trees, cost-effectiveness trees and simple trees. You could save a Preference Set for each of these types from a model that you have already created. Then you could load the appropriate Preference Set when creating a new tree.

The controls for Preference Sets are at the bottom left corner of the Tree Preferences Dialog.

In the figure above, the down arrow control has been clicked to show the Tree Preference Set controls, which are described below:

• New Set: Create a new preference set for the selected model. The new preference set can be copied from an existing preference set already saved with the model.

• Load Saved Set: Load a set of preferences from an XML file into a preference set for the selected model. You will be asked to provide a name for the preference set within the context of the selected model.

• Save AS XML: Save the current preference set as an XML file. It can then be loaded into other models.

• Save as default: Save the current preference set as the default for new models.

• Reset default: Reset the default preference set for new models to the set that comes with the original software installation.
