OutputDir – this should be set to the folder where LMS and SDF files will be stored. Note that for SDF files, you should use URL naming conventions, to ensure the devices can find the file when sent in LDPATH.
The RxInfo.ini file is located in different folders depending on the version of Windows:

Custom V Design Options
There is an option on the Crossbows software to allow a variable inset, and this only applies to the Custom V design. When this is enabled in the CrossBows calculator (from the Tools|Options menu), then for Custom V, the inset will be calculated based on variables like NWD, lens power, BVD etc. In this case the LMS should send the NWD, IPD, SPH, CYL, AX and BVD. If some values are missing, then defaults will be used or calculated.

ERNRIN | numeric; | For supported designs, may be used to specify the addition inset between limits of 1.5 and 3.5mm. If a non-zero value is specified, this will override the AutoInset feature. |
To request a specific inset in Rx-Universe, use the VCA Overrides on the order (available beginning in 6.38.00):
When creating an uncut order for a Crossbows design where variable inset is allowed, the lens style must be set to allow the NPD to be entered:
When entering an uncut with no frame measurements, the decentration and inset can be entered in the appropriate fields, as illustrated:
In the above example, the design is requested to be decentered 3mm from the center of the blank, and the ADD circle to be decentered 2mm from the PRP.
The inset is then sent as ERNRIN to the Crossbows calculator. Note, you may need to edit the labels sent to Crossbows to include ERNRIN, in the LDI file (see Use of LDI (initialization files) with Digital Vendors)
For the automatic corridor selection the length of the corridor is returned in CORRLEN, the inset is returned in ERNRIN.
Digital Packages
There is an option on the Digital Surface Types screen that will allow you to select the Silver, Gold or Platinum package for CrossBows. Once you select a package, the digital lens styles for that package will be automatically created in the Lens Style database, as well as entries in the Alias database.
