The Central definitions concerned are the following:

 

 

•Central document code definitions:
 
Document codes are used by the Drawing Manager, similar to the Drawing Manager masks described in the previous topic. They comprise definitions that among other things are used for categorising and naming new drawing sheets in the Drawing Manager. Document codes can be defined both by project and centrally on the server. Central definitions are used as default for new projects. It is also possible to copy document codes in both directions between the definitions stored in a project and the ones stored centrally on the server.

 

Central document code definitions are stored in a database file named DocumentCodes.DBF.

 

Document codes, both central and project based, are handled in the Drawing Manager. The central and the local editors are both accessed from the Module pull-down menu there.

 

Import of document codes under update conditions like described here, is “soft”. This means that standard definitions of document codes present at delivery of the software are merged with user defined document codes in the old version that import is being made from. That merge is “soft”, meaning that any changes made to standard document codes will be lost. Any added user defined document codes will however be imported unchanged.

 

 

•User defined project parameter settings:
 
User defined project parameter settings refers to central definitions of user defined project parameters stored in a configuration file called USERPROJPAR.INI located in the SYSTEM subdirectory of the cadett ELSA main directory (typically X:\ELSA\SYSTEM or similar).
 
User defined project parameters are described in full detail in the Project Module topic, and more specifically in the User defined project parameters tab sub-topic.

 

 

•More:

 

More refers to central definitions other than the two ones described above. What that may be is dependent on which versions of the software that are involved. No special considerations with respect to this are however needed.
