Saving filters

You can save all filter settings in one file or save filters for individual network objects.

Saving all filters

You can save the currently specified filter settings of all network object types to a file.

Note: Specified filter conditions and active filters are also saved with the version file (Opening and saving a version file).

1.  On the Filters menu, click Save filter file.

The Save: Filter window opens.

Tip: You can also call the Save: Filter window in menu File > Save file as > > Filters

2.  Enter the file name and the path, if required.

3.  Click the Save button.

The filter conditions of all network object filters are saved.

2.  Click Filter files on the toolbar.

3.  Click the Add button.

4.  Enter the name for filter file in the text field.

5.  Click the symbol or press the Enter key.

The settings are saved under the entered name to a filter file *.fil in the project directory for filter files (Saving a project directories file). Saved filter files are then visible in the list and can be selected and loaded directly.

Notes: You can change the names of saved filter files directly in the list, overwrite existing filter files, or delete filter files. Use the symbols that appear when you move the mouse over an entry in the list.

If you delete a filter file in the list using the symbol, it will not only be removed from the display but deleted entirely.

Saving filters for a network object type

You can save the filter conditions for an individual network object type directly in the filter window.

In the filter windows that contain several network objects (for lines, for example), you will find the button on the tab pages of the individual network object types. The saved filter then only contains the filter settings for the respective network object type.

The POI filter stores the filter settings for each category.

The settings are saved under the entered name to a filter file *.fil in the project directory for filter files (Saving a project directories file).
