Scanning for Civil 3D Data Shortcut References (DSFOLDERREPAIR)

Using the DSFOLDERREPAIR command you can scan imported DWG master documents for the presence of Civil 3D data shortcut references, and restore any broken Civil 3D data shortcut references if found.

Note: This command is not a replacement for the standard reference scanning tool in ProjectWise Explorer, as it does not scan for or restore any other types of references.

To use the command:

On the AutoCAD command line, enter: DSFOLDERREPAIR
When prompted, select the ProjectWise folder where the DWG documents to repair are located.
Also it will ask about the necessity of processing master documents in nested folders of the selected folder.
When prompted, select one or more Civil 3D projects to search for data shortcuts to resolve the data shortcut references in master documents.

After you select the projects and click OK the processing will start.

While processing, the progress and the results will be shown in the AutoCAD console window.

For the case where the selected projects are constraining the data shortcuts referenced by DWG documents in the selected folder, the Civil 3D set for these DWG documents should be restored after the command ends.

Note: Because HOOKLESSREPATH mode is used with the DSFOLDERREPAIR command, it is recommended that you backup the DWG documents before performing this type of scan.

HOOKLESSREPATH

HOOKLESSREPATH mode must be enabled before you can use the DSFOLDERREPAIR command.

For AutoCAD Civil 3D integration in ProjectWise Explorer CONNECT Edition Update 3.2 refresh and later:

HOOKLESSREPATH mode is enabled by default (set to a value of 1), and can be disabled by setting it to a value of 0.

For AutoCAD Civil 3D integration in ProjectWise Explorer CONNECT Edition Update 3.1 refresh and Update 3.2 (and also in the standalone Civil 3D 2018 and 2019 integration modules for use with ProjectWise Explorer CONNECT Edition Update 3.1):

HOOKLESSREPATH mode is always enabled and cannot be disabled.

For AutoCAD Civil 3D integration in ProjectWise Explorer CONNECT Edition Update 3.1 and earlier (assuming the variable is available):

HOOKLESSREPATH mode is disabled by default (set to a value of 0), and can be enabled by setting it to a value of 1.
