Backing up parameters

In addition to the programs, you can also save R-parameters and global user variables.
You can use this option, for example, to back up the required arithmetic parameters and user
variables for a specific program. If you want to execute this program at a later point in time,
you will then have quick access to the relevant data.
Note
Backing up parameters from part programs
Parameters from part programs can only be backed up if they have been saved in the
"Workpieces" directory.
For part programs that are located in the "Part programs" or "Subprograms" directory, "Save
parameters" is not listed.
