You can create saved sets of load properties for easy selection when placing loads with the Insert Load tool.

The load data sets are saved in an .xml file located in the Plug-ins\VW_Spotlight\Data\Braceworks\PresetPointLoads folder in your user folder. This file can be shared with other users.

To create or select load sets:

1.      Click the tool, and then click Point Load or Distributed Load mode, depending on whether the load set is for a point load or distributed load (each type of load contains separate data sets).

2.      Click Load Settings on the Tool bar.

The Load Settings dialog box opens.

3.      Either select a saved load set to use, or enter load properties to create a saved load set.

4.      If selecting a saved load set, click OK to use those load properties. Otherwise, proceed to step 5.

5.      If creating a load set, enter the properties of the load and click Save to create the saved load set.
