Workspace-Specific Files

The Files section is used to define any files that may be part of a project. When the workspace is created, a default set of file categories are automatically created. These can be edited and adjusted at any time to add project specific files. When a workspace is exported, any files defined here are copied to the corresponding folder in the workspace.

Workspace-Specific File Operations

Given the project and workspace setup below.

Project Setup

Workspace Setup

For the Cell libraries, as shown below:

When the project is exported the file "East City.cel" will be copied from:

C:\projects\EastCity\cell to C:\XMWorkspaces\WorkSpace\Projects\Examples\Geospatial\Cadastre\EastCity\cell

If the user wants to include files that are not part of the project directory, then the full path name can be specified in the source file list as below. If this is the case, turn on Ignore Source Directory. This will prevent Bentley Geospatial Administrator from looking for the file in the specified subdirectory of the project.

Adding a New File Category

To add a new file category, right-click the Files node and select Add > File Category.

Enter values for the category name as well as source and destination folders. Bentley Geospatial Administrator does not create the source folder; it must be created using Windows Explorer.
