Save and re-use gridding parameters in Surfer

If you need to map multiple variables for the same area or compare data over time, it is important that you keep as many factors as possible the same.  Gridding parameters can play a large role in data display and analysis so keeping those consistent is vital.  To support this, Surfer allows you to save your gridding parameters to a file and then load the file at another time when creating a new grid. To do so:

Save settings:

1. Click Home | Grid Data | Grid Data
2. Navigate through the Grid Data dialog, ensuring all parameters are specified as you want them.
3. On the final Output page, click the Save Settings button.
   
4. Choose a filename and location to save the .SRFGDS gridding settings file
5. Click Save
6. Click Finish to grid your data, if you wish.

Load settings:

1. Click Home | Grid Data | Grid Data
2. On the first Select Data page, click the Load Settings button
   
3. Navigate to your preferred SRFGDS file and click Open
4. Click Finish to begin gridding with the saved settings
