Question: How do I work with projects from a network share?

Answer: We recommend placing sisHYD projects folder onto a network share for safety reasons at the moment the share is subject to data backup. To permanently add project folders for sisHYD the folder path will be added to the site configuration file \sis_data\site\sissite.cfg.

For example, in order to use projects on the network share n: from subfolder "sisHYD", please add the following configuration line to your sissite.cfg:

SISHYD_PROJECTS_DIRS > n:/company/department/planing/sishyd/

You may want to add as many folders as needed. The ">" character will append the specified path to the existing search path. The "<" character will prepend to the list of search path.

Question: How do I work with background maps stored on a network share?

Answer: By default sisHYD expects background map in the project subfolder CAD. This way you will not miss data residing outside your project folder when copying a project folder.

To change the standard search path for background maps to a specific folder, the configuration file \sis_data\site\sissite.cfg will be edited. Please add the following configuration line to the file adjusting the path to your needs.

SISHYD_PRJ_REF = n:/company/department/maps/
