Clicking on the Layer/Save layer properties menu item provides the means for saving the visual properties of the active layer into a separate configuration file (in the INI format).

To save the visual properties of a layer into a configuration file

1. Activate (highlight) the desired layer. Do this by clicking on its name in the Legend.
2. Click on the Layer/Save layer properties menu item - this invokes the Save As dialog box.
3. [OPTIONAL, NOT RECOMMENDED] Within the Save As dialog box, go to the drive on which you want to save the configuration file.
4. [OPTIONAL, NOT RECOMMENDED] Enter the folder in which you want to save the configuration file.
5. [OPTIONAL, NOT RECOMMENDED] Enter a name for the configuration file in the File name field.
6. Click on the Save button.

• The Save layer properties item in the Legend context menu.

• To customize the properties of a vector layer, use the Layer Properties feature.
• To load the properties of a vector layer from a configuration file, use the Load layer properties feature.

• If the configuration file is stored in the same folder as the layer to which it belongs and has the default name it is automatically loaded whenever the layer is being opened.
• The settings saved in a project file have higher priority than the settings saved in a layer configuration file. If the layer settings are saved in the project file, during opening the project, these settings are loaded instead of settings from the layer configuration file.
