Before you may interact with ProjectWise from inside the HAMMER CONNECT application, you must integrate it to work with ProjectWise. This step varies depending on the platform under which you wish to integrate. Until you set up this ProjectWise integration the file prompts in the application will not allow interaction with ProjectWise datasources.

For the Standalone platform, you must edit the ProjectWiseIntegrationLocalOptions.xml file using a text editor. The file is located in the All User documents directory (C:\ProgramData\Bentley\<ProductName>\10)

Find the line that sets the PWDIR variable:

PWDIR=""

and change it so that it refers to the directory where a supported version of the ProjectWise Explorer is installed, such as:

PWDIR="C:\Program Files\Bentley\ProjectWise\"

For the MicroStation platform, you must enable the ProjectWise iDesktop integration for Microstation when installing the ProjectWise Explorer client software. You can also Change the ProjectWise Explorer installation to enable this from the Windows Control Panel.

The ArcGIS platform will automatically detect an installed ProjectWise Explorer, but to interact with ProjectWise in ArcGIS you must use the explicit ProjectWise menu commands.
