How to solve the issue I can not save my custom EXCEL template output configuration or my general tolerance table. Also I can see the warning 'Read Only - No Write Permission' next to Define QA Attributes Table.
This happens when users log on Windows computer with the user account that does not have write permission for Excel template output configuration and general Tolerance configuration files in QA-CAD. (Normally admin account has the write permission. Some user account does not have due to their company's IT policy at default settings.)The directory where Excel and Tolerance configuration files are stored can be seen in:
Edit > Preferences > Administrator > QA Attributes and Tolerance storage location
Normally the below is the folder path:
C:\ProgramData\GuthCAD\QA\en
If users does not have full read and write permissions for the above folder ,en , settings cannot be saved. In this case, they need to ask their IT administrators to let their Windows accounts have read and write permissions on the en folder.
As you can see from the below video image, you can check QA Attributes and Tolerance storage location in QA-CAD software.
