The BricsCAD user file manager
When you update, the first time you launch BricsCAD after the update, the content of the UserDataCache subfolder of the BricsCAD installation folder is compared with the content of the user file folders. If you have customized files in these folders and if one or more of the corresponding files in the UserDataCache folder are more recent, the BricsCAD user file manager dialog box displays, asking you whether to keep or to overwrite your files with the new version.
Do the following:
- For each file in the list, choose what to do:
- Keep current: keep your customizations.
- Overwrite: replace the file.
- Click the Accept button.
