Importing Settings From a Previous Version
A Settings Importer utility is provided that lets you import customized route options and profiles, custom road speeds, and general application settings from the previous version. Here are a few things to note about this utility:
-
It will only import from the previous year’s release – i.e. from Version 36 to Version 37.
-
The following settings won’t be imported and must be reset in Version 37:
Length and Distance unit of measure (English/Metric)
-
Fuel in (gallons/liters)
-
State/Country Report Order (alphabetical/route order)
-
Settings that change annually, such as currency conversion rate and route costs.
-
The current default values in PC*Miler will be overwritten. For trip options and road speeds, only those values that have been customized in the previous version will be imported.
-
The import utility includes a license check and won’t run on workstations using shared data. An error message will appear if an import request cannot be processed.
To use the Settings Importer, follow these steps:
-
Select the Windows Start menu > All Apps (or equivalent) > PCMiler 37 > Settings Importer.
-
In this dialog, uncheck any settings you do NOT want to import.
-
Choose a version from "Import settings saved in this PC*Miler version" drop-down.
-
Click Import to proceed with the import (click Close if you decide not to proceed). Close the Settings Importer window when the process is complete.
