UNC paths

When using ContextCapture on a cluster, Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths are required for distant access to input, project, and output files.

Warn when a non-UNC path is used (advised when using a computer cluster)

This option activates warnings in the user interface when a non-UNC path is used:

• for the project file location,
• for photo files,
• for the job queue directory,
• for the production output directory.

Use proxy UNC path for the project file

Even if UNC paths are used everywhere in a project file, if the project is opened from a local location (for instance double-click on the CCM file in the local directory), non-UNC paths may be introduced in jobs and cause the computer cluster to fail.

To avoid this common cause of error, the proxy UNC path allows to define the UNC project file path used by ContextCapture , independently of the location the project is opened from.

Job queue

Defines the directory where jobs must be submitted for processing by ContextCapture Engine.

This option allows to modify the job queue directory of a project. The job queue directory of a new project is initialized to the default value set by ContextCapture Settings (see Installation and Configuration).

ProjectWise project

Your ContextCapture project can be associated to a ProjectWise project.

Simply select a ProjectWise project to be associated with your work. See the ProjectWise Project Chooser documentation for more details on the various capabilities of this window. When associated, all use of the project in the current product is associated with the ProjectWise project.
