These settings require the Group, that is to have the settings applied, to be open.
This is the root location from where all new DriveWorks Models, Drawings and additional file formats will be stored. Any new specification files and documents can be stored in a separate location.
Each model generated by DriveWorks can be stored in a subfolder of this location.
To choose the Default Specification Folder location:
This is the location where global macros required for all projects within a Group are stored.
The Macros that are to be used globally must be stored in a folder called Macros, for example, if the Group content folder is found at "C:\DriveWorks\My Project\" then the global Macros folder should be found at "C:\DriveWorks\My Project\Macros"
More information on SOLIDWORKS Macros can be found here How To: Create A Macro To Run On A SOLIDWORKS File.
These settings require the Group, that is to have the settings applied, to be open.
With this option checked users will be able to see all documents (as defined in Stage 4: Output Rules Documents) generated for a specification.
This setting will override the Hide From Document List setting that can be applied to individual documents.
If left unchecked, the document will either be hidden or shown depending on its Hide From Document List setting found by editing a Document.
Also when this option is checked, and a document does not exist but has been set to be shown, a link to the document will appear but will not open anything when clicked.
With this option checked, and using the default Specification Flow, released specifications will be processed by DriveWorks Autopilot.
This improves performance on the administrative machine by generating models and other information on an alternative machine.
When the Transition comes directly from the Running State the Enter Events of the Completed State are performed by the module the Transition was performed in (eg Admin, Live, User) on the administrative machine.
If the Transition is coming from Autopilot, when this option is checked, the Enter Events of the Completed State are performed by the Autopilot machine and therefore do not impact the administrative machine performance.
This option chooses at what stage documents will be created.
Options include:
When generating multiple documents, the order in which they will be generated can be set in the Specification Flow. Please see the article How To: Change Document Generation Order for more information.
With this option checked users will be able to edit existing specifications. This setting will not enable models to be edited, only documents can be edited.
With this option checked users will be able to overwrite released model data. The setting Allow existing Specifications to be Edited must be checked to enable it.
With this option checked, all specification reports will be hidden from non-administrators.
This setting relates to the viewing of any HTML documents, that are created by a specification, in DriveWorks Live.
When this setting is checked then all files relative to the specification documents folder can be viewed.
When this setting is unchecked, DriveWorks will locate any src and href attributes in the HTML file then check any requested file against this. If it matches then DriveWorks will allow that file to be served, otherwise it won't.
With this option checked all Project reporting levels set for each Project in the Group will be overridden with the level set below.
Select one of the following levels:
This is the location where Macros and Templates are stored.
To browse to the shared Content Folder location:
With this option checked all settings that would normally be stored for the machine and required administrative rights will be stored for the current user.
With this option checked the last used Group will automatically load on launch of DriveWorks Administrator Project Designer. The SOLIDWORKS Add-in will not automatically load the last used Group.
With this option checked all database queries will be disabled when a project is loaded.
