I. To open a STAAD input file from a ProjectWise repository

Note: Your most recent STAAD input files within PW repositories will be listed on the ProjectWise tab of the recent files list. You can click to select any of those files to open them.

On the STAAD.Pro Start page, select Open and then ProjectWise. You will be prompted to connect to a datasource if you have not already done so.
The first time that a successful link to a ProjectWise server is established, a location in which checked out files are to be stored locally and additionally, where all the auxiliary data files are stored while STAAD is running, is required. Afterwards and on all future occasions, the ProjectWise open dialog presented is then presented where the repository can be navigated and filtered as defined in the ProjectWise documentation.
Navigate to and select the STAAD input file you want to check out and open.
Note: The icons next to the STAAD filenames indicate the status of the file such as the current document, checked out to you, or locked as checked out to another user. Refer to the ProjectWise documentation for a full description of each icon.
Click Open. The STAAD input file is checked out and opened in STAAD.Pro.
