==== Create new strategy ====

You have three different way to create a new strategy

* Creating it with the strategy wizard The Strategy Wizard is an easy way to create a highly customized and well tailored strategy for unique requirements too. Just click the '+' button!
* Duplicate an existing strategy If one of the existing strategies almost fulfil your needs, and seems like a good starting point for your new strategy, or you just want to try something while keeping your existing strategies safe, the duplicated strategy is the best choice. You can access it via the duplicate strategy button.
* Convert a Special Strategy If the configured Easy or Smart type strategy is almost right for you but you need to turn off, or on a feature, or change something that is not provided there, you can convert them to an Expert Strategy and tweak them according to your needs.

==== Delete Strategy ====

You can delete the actively selected strategy with the '-'/Rename button.

==== Rename Strategy ====

You can rename the current strategy with the Rename button, or click in the strategy header's textbox and simply edit!

=== Strategy Types ===

==== Smart Strategy Type ====

[[Smart Strategy]] is a [[Manual/SlicerSystem/Strategies|Strategy]] especially aiming the beginner users. By only specifying the requirements against the printing result, the CraftWare Pro generates the proper set of parameters under the hood. There is no need for domain specific knowledge or extended 3D printing experience. It is capable to create the most suitable results without any understanding of the 3D printing process.

==== Easy Strategy Type ====

Easy strategy provides a small set of intuitive controls to alter the slicer settings.

[[Easy Strategy]] is a [[Manual/SlicerSystem/Strategies|Strategy]] especially aiming the intermediate users. By only specifying few of the most important printing properties you can have influence on a great deal of printing parameters under the hood. A basic FDM printing knowledge is enough a fairly wide and flexible control over the slicing process.

==== Expert Strategy Type ====

Switching to the "Default" strategy, there will be more parameters to fine tune.

The default strategy reveals parameter overrides where you can have much finer control over the slicing process. You can setup your very own rules here too.

[[Expert Strategies]] are [[Manual/SlicerSystem/Strategies|Strategies]] especially aiming the advanced users. You can access more than 24000 parameters via a dynamically constructed User Interface that can be tailored flexibly for your needs. It gives you a full depth control over the slicing process.
