To open a file stored in ProjectWise

To open a RAM Structural System file stored in a ProjectWise repository, use the following procedure.

Either:

select File > ProjectWise > Open

or
select the Open File from ProjectWise tool

If you have not previously logged into a ProjectWise databasource, then the ProjectWise Log in dialog opens, allowing you to log into a ProjectWise datasource (see To add a file to ProjectWise for details). After logging in to the datasource, the ProjectWise Open Document dialog is displayed, allowing the user to browse/search the datasource contents and select the document to open (see ProjectWise Explorer help files for more details).
Select a document within the ProjectWise databasource.
Click Open.

The ProjectWise document is checked out from the ProjectWise datasource, copied to local disk, and opened by the RAM Structural System.

The RAM Structural System recognizes that the current model is linked to ProjectWise and allows the File > ProjectWise > Update Server Copy and the File > ProjectWise > Properties commands to become active.
