OpenBridge Modeler can
check out and open files from and create new files in a
ProjectWise datasource.
When you are opening a model, if
OpenBridge Modeler detects that
ProjectWise Explorer is installed on your computer,
the
ProjectWise Log in dialog opens. Here,
you are prompted to provide the location of a
ProjectWise datasource and your credentials. Once
you have entered these, click
Log in.
Note: If you do not want to
open a file from a
ProjectWise datasource, simply click
Cancel and then navigate your Windows folders and
drives normally.
Note: All
OpenBridge Modeler libraries now have a option which allows you to select a different library than the one specified in the config file or coming from
ProjectWise. This setting is only valid for the specific session of
OpenBridge Modeler, and will be lost if
OpenBridge Modeler is restarted. The currently loaded file path and name is displayed at the bottom of each library dialog.
To ensure
ProjectWise integration is configured properly,
look for a
PW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION variable. If it exists
and is set to 1, that may be the problem. This would be coming from the
pw.cfg file, found in a path like:
C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenBridge Modeler CONNECT
Edition\OpenBridgeModeler\config\appl
- Open
pw.cfg in a text editor such as Notepad.
- Comment out the
PW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION_FROM_DESKTOP=1 line by
inserting a
# at the beginning of the line if one is not present
already:
#PW_DISABLE_INTEGRATION_FROM_DESKTOP=1
