How to edit MyGIA (User-defined) boundaries

This "How-to" guide descibes how to edit user defined boundaries on example of appraiser which is included in release Oxygen ....

This is sample of boundaries which use likes to apply as additional limitation to GIA Facetware:

Appraiser which is corresponds to this table is called My GIA 4/ GIA Facetware.M4. 

It includes optimization part My GIA 4 which user can find by starting strings 

It includes apprising part GIA Facetware.M4 which user can find by starting strings 

These 2 parts are editable inside file MyGIA.txt placed in folder Facetware in root folder of program.

Let's start edit boundaries:

Step-by-step guide

For example, user needs to change interval for Crown Angle for VG group to 30...36. It is necessary to 

1. Open MyGIA.txt in Notepad and find apprising part GIA Facetware.M4:

2. Find section with "intervals" - it contains intervals for different parameters for different cut quality groups. Here user can edit intervals for EX, VG and other cut quality groups.

3. Edit string:

Before: 

After: 

d.
