Opening a File in a Registered Document

When you register a document using the move option, a copy of the file attached to the original ProjectWise document is imported into the community and added to the registered document (Files topic), and the original document and file are deleted from ProjectWise.

When you register a document using the reference option, the ProjectWise file is not imported into the community; instead, a reference to the original ProjectWise file is added to the registered document (Files topic). This means that whenever you open a file in a registered document that references a ProjectWise document, the original file is opened directly from the ProjectWise file storage location.

Handling MicroStation and AutoCAD References

MicroStation DGN files and AutoCAD DWG files can contain links to other files. In MicroStation these links are called references; in AutoCAD they are called xrefs. If the file being referenced in a registered document is a DGN or DWG file, be aware that the connector makes no attempt to resolve any references or xrefs that may exist within the DGN or DWG file when you open it.

Setting Security on Registered Documents

You can set security on a registered document just like any other document in the community.
