Target Practice lets you record your own solutions for any base layout. Once saved, your solutions are automatically named and entered into the database and become available through filtering — exactly like ICA solutions.

Up to 9 user solutions can be saved per base layout.

Creating a User Solution

To save a user solution, start from any base layout and follow these steps:

1. Load a base layout using filtering or the layout number field.
2. Add a Track Line starting from the cue ball, through contact with the object ball, and continuing along the intended cue ball path to the target.
3. Add an Aiming Ball to describe the tip position (follow/draw and English) and the speed of the shot.
4. Press S on the keyboard.
5. The Save menu opens. Enter the Level (1 = easier, 2 = medium, 3 = harder), check Stop/Stun if applicable, then click Save.

After saving, the solution is analyzed, its parameters are calculated and entered into the database, and it becomes immediately available for filtering.

Note: Most save parameters — including the filename — are calculated automatically. The only entries you need to provide are the Level and Stop/Stun flag.

What Happens After Saving

Once a user solution is saved, it:

• Appears as a result when User solutions are included in filtering
• Can be interspersed with its corresponding base layout during a session
• Is stored in the User Solution directories on disk

If a friend shares their user solutions with you, copy the files to the appropriate User Solution directories and then use the Rebuild → User Solutions function in the Setup tab to register them in the database. See Setup Features for details on the Rebuild function.
