Configuration > CAD files repository (vault)
Insertion et export
Interface
>CAD files repository (vault)
System - Databases / Cache / Directories
Viewers- 2D views selector / 3D viewer / 2D viewer / Units and Colors
This option allows definition of a location where the CAD files are centralized.
Example of configuration of the CAD files repository folder:
- Type: defines the type of repository. "Shared folder" is the only type currently supported. The shared folder can be local or on a network.
- Shared folder path: access path to the shared folder. It can be a path using a network drive (e.g.: "x:\vault"), or a UNC path (e.g.: \\server\Vault)
- File access mode: TraceParts does not alter the files present in the CAD file repository folder at all; to be able to insert a part located there, it can either:
- Create a copy of the file containing the part to be inserted on the local disk – more exactly, copy the part to be inserted in the working directory. (TraceParts default behavior)
- Directly link the file stored in the shared folder.
Operation
By default, at the time of an insertion, TraceParts operates as follows:
- Control that the part to be inserted does not exist in the TraceParts working directory,
- In the affirmative, TraceParts behaves according to its "Insertion and export" configuration
- If not, control that the part to be inserted does not exist in the TraceParts cache
- In the affirmative, TraceParts will use the file existing in the cache for the insertion.
- If not, the part is generated and inserted.
When defining a CAD file repository shared folder (vault), the behavior of TraceParts at the time of insertion becomes:
- Control that the part to be inserted does not exist in the TraceParts working directory.
- In the affirmative, TraceParts behaves according to its "Insertion and export" configuration
- Control that the part to be inserted does not already exist in the CAD file repository directory.
- In the affirmative, the existing file is used for the insertion (according to the specified access mode).
- If not, control that the part to be inserted does not exist in the TraceParts cache
- In the affirmative, TraceParts will use the file existing in the cache for the insertion.
- If not, the part is generated and inserted
Important:
- The CAD file repository folder is NEVER modified by TraceParts. Thus, if the part to be inserted is not there, it is created by TraceParts in the working directory AND the cache directory, but NOT in the CAD file repository shared folder. For the newly created part to be there, the user must put it there himself.
- The CAD file repository shared folder can be read-only.
