# Presets

Presets are sets of parameters associated with a modal window. Presets are stored in the SketchUp defaults, but in a compact almost unreadable format.

## Saving a Preset

If you like the set of parameters you have entered, you can save them to a descriptive name. From now on, the parameters can be recalled, modified and saved back.

## Exporting Presets

When installing a new version of SketchUp, the settings from the previous version are ignored. To be able to recuperate your **OpenCutList** settings, you may save them to a file and then later reload them into **OpenCutList** of the new SketchUp version.

You may select which presets are to be exported or imported.
