I started trying to use of CLion 2018.2 today and the first problem with I stuck is how to switch toolchains in CLion.
I want to switch the toolchain from MinGW to Visual Studio and I can switch it by making Visual Studio toolchain as default (File->Settings->Build, Execution, Deployment->Toolchains->Select Visual Studio->Click Up arrow).
But I don't want to make this toolchain as default. I just wanted to try it.
Should I press this up arrow button if I want to switch toolchains or there is any simpler way?
Thanks.

CMake uses a toolchain of utilities to compile, link libraries and create archives, and other tasks to drive the build. The toolchain utilities available are determined by the languages enabled. In normal builds, CMake automatically determines the toolchain for host builds based on system introspection and defaults.
In CLion, you can use GCC-based compilers, Clang, Clang-cl, Visual Studio C++ compiler, as well as IAR compiler and custom-defined compiler. See Compilers for more information. CLion supports debugging with GDB (either bundled or custom) on all platforms and with the bundled LLDB on macOS and Linux.
In CLion, go to File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Toolchains and select the Visual Studio toolchain that you want to configure, or create a new one. Point the C Compiler and C++ Compiler fields to clang-cl.exe. CLion will suggest the paths detected automatically.
No need to many any toolchain a default one. Do the following:
