Name

Description

File KOMPAS.ini

File KOMPAS.iniThis file contains information about the location of configuration files and system folders. File KOMPAS.ini is used if the location should be different from the default location (information about the default location of these files and folders is stored internally as values of environment variables KOMPAS-3D, environment variables are described in section Defining paths to system files and folders.KOMPAS-3D environment variables). In addition to the above information, may contain additional information about the system operation parameters.

System settings

A *.cfg file containing information about system settings - all settings made in the System section of the general setup dialog box.

Parameters of open documents

A *.dsk file containing a list of open KOMPAS documents and information about their state.

KOMPAS configuration parameters

The kompas.kit.config file is a custom kit data file. It contains data about the current kit composition KOMPAS-3D. The kompas.kit. config file is overwritten each time the configuration is changed, e.g. by adding an application or connecting a library.

KOMPAS default configuration parameters

Folder containing *.kit.config files with default kit composition data KOMPAS-3D. The information about the kit composition is taken from them in case the kompas.kit.configfile is missing .

Temporary files

A folder for placing temporary files as well as automatically saved document files during operation KOMPAS-3D.

Working folder

Folder for placing KOMPAS documents.

This folder is offered by default when you open or save a document for the first time.

System files

A folder containing service files: custom menu files, material density reference file, style libraries, etc.

Add-on files

Folder containing application files. This folder is offered first by default when adding applications to the configuration.

Library files

Folder containing element library files. This folder is offered first by default when adding element libraries to the configuration.

Tool files

A folder containing utility files. This folder is offered first by default when adding utilities to the configuration.

Templates

A folder containing KOMPAS document template files. When creating documents, templates located in this folder will be suggested. The same folder is offered by default for placing newly created templates.

User profiles

A folder containing profile files. When you select profiles, the ones in this folder are suggested. The same folder is suggested by default for the location of newly created profiles.

Snap tables

A folder containing fold table files. When you select a fold table, the tables in this folder are suggested. The same folder is suggested by default when writing to a fold table file stored in a sheet part.

Thread table

A folder containing thread table files. When you select a thread table, the tables in this folder are suggested.

Table of tolerances

The folder containing the tolerance table files. When a tolerance table is selected, the tables in this folder are suggested.

Templates of multilines

A folder containing multiline template files. When creating documents, the templates in this folder will be suggested. The same folder is suggested by default for placing newly created templates.

Default plotter/printer configurations

The folder containing the print device configuration files. When saving configurations, this folder will be suggested by default. When loading configurations, the configurations in the same folder will be suggested.

Image files

A folder containing sample image files that can be used to check the smoothness of part surfaces using the Reflective environment method.

Collection of mathematical expressions

A collection.law file containing mathematical expressions that can be used to assign values to variables in the Variables Window and to specify point coordinates when drawing a curve by law. The expressions contained in the file are displayed in the Expression dialog box when the From collection file group is selected.

File of unspecified maxum dimensional deviatons

Gen_tol.ttl file that contains the tolerance values for linear and angular dimensional tolerances for general tolerances. These values are used in models for sketch dimensions and operation parameters that are not assigned individual tolerances.

Textures

Textures folder containing raster images that are used in the model to simulate the material texture of the object. The image is overlaid on the edges of the object. Selection and adjustment of image parameters is performed in the Graphic material Mapping process.

Reliefs

Reliefs folder containing raster images, which are used in the model to simulate relief of object surface. The image is overlaid on the object edges. Selection and adjustment of image parameters is performed in the Graphic material display process.

Cuts

Cutouts folder containing raster images that are used in the model to simulate the perforated surface of the object. The image is overlaid on the edges of the object. Selection and adjustment of image parameters is performed in the Graphic material display process.

When starting the KOMPAS-3D system, the ini file is searched only in the folder with the exe file, so the newly created KOMPAS.ini file is automatically located in this folder. Placing it in another folder is equivalent to the absence of this file.
