Downloading Documents

Use the Download icon to download selected documents and folders to your local computer.

You can download items from the folder they exist in, or from the results of a search.

Downloading a document does not check out the document.

Depending on the permissions set on a document, you may or may not be able to download that document. Specifically, you need the File Read permission on a document to be able to download it. These permissions are set in ProjectWise Explorer. If you do not have File Read permission on a particular document, there will be a special, smaller icon in the lower right corner of the document icon, like this:

If you do have File Read permission on the document, then you will not see this smaller icon on the document icon, and you can assume that you should be able to download the document.

Downloading a Document

To download a standalone document:

  1. Click the check box next to the document and from the action menu select Download.

    A copy of the file attached to the document is downloaded.

To download a master document (DGN, DWG, or RVT):

  1. Click the check box next to the document and click the Download icon (or select Download from the action menu to the right of the document).
  2. When prompted, click Yes to download the references along with the master document, or click No if you just want to download the master document.

    When you download a master document and its references, the entire set is downloaded to a single ZIP file.

Note: After downloading a master file and its references, you will have to manually repair the links to the references in the master file.

Downloading a Folder

  1. Click the check box next to a folder and click the Download icon (or select Download from the action menu to the right of the folder).

The selected folder and its subfolders and documents are all downloaded to a single ZIP file.
