Save as default for this network

Save the current settings as defaults for this particular network. This applies to all users.

Note

Using this option results in the settings being saved as a network preference. In other words, this option will affect all users of that network once the network has been committed, and therefore it should be used with caution.

(The title bar of the GeoPlan Properties dialog indicates that theme and properties settings have been saved as network defaults).

Save as default for all networks of this type

Save the current settings as default for all the networks of the same type. This applies to the current user only, i.e. only the settings of the user who has selected this option will be affected.

No confirmation message is displayed.

Export to iws file

Export the current settings to an XML format file (.iws)

This file can be reloaded at any time . Please refer to the Reloading Saved Themes section of the Managing Themes topic for more detailed information.
