If your club owns a set of control stands, you can store the punch patterns for these control stands, and reuse the patterns for later events.
Condes call this a set of "Predefined punches".
How to configure the predefined punches
Before using the predefined punches, they need to be configured.
How to use the predefined punches
By default each control in an event will use the "predefined punch". You can override this setting and change the specific pattern for a control by unchecking the box "Use predefined punch set" in the individual control's Control Dialog.
The predefined punches are stored in the file PUNCHES.DAT. You can share the punches with others by copying this file to the Condes installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\Condes 8) on their computer.
