![]() Now that you’ve got BricsCAD working it is time to take testing to the next level by conducting a pilot training and project study which we’ll talk about in the next installment. Be sure that you actually plot to those devices and verify the output now so you don’t experience mass plotting problems later. Even though it may take a few tries to get things right it is far better to test everything now with two users involved than having a mistake installed on 10, 20 or 100 user’s desktops, right?Īs a function of the prior step you will have setup paths for your plotter devices. The PROFILEMANAGER command allows you to import profiles created in the SETTINGS command. This will allow you to test the exact same settings on the other user’s machine. By using the ProfileManager you can export an ARG file from the custom profile you created in the prior step, then go to the other user’s machine and use ProfileManager to import that ARG file. Does anything mess up? If so debug and fix as appropriate, if not proceed to the next step. On my own machine using all the custom folders I prepared in the step above. I like to do my testing using this approach: Network file paths will replace C drive paths in BricsCAD’s SETTINGS command. In the BricsCAD SETTINGS command you can set all the various pathing locations for support files, XRef paths, plotter locations, etc. Network: Tell BricsCAD where to lookīricsCAD – like any CAD program – is constantly accessing a variety of files to do its job and it is likely that most of those files are coming from a network location. So, take a little time to think how you want it setup because the decisions you make now will be with you for the lifetime of your BricsCAD ecosystem. Bonus: And by testing your new system with the correct permissions you’ll find any problems BEFORE going into production.īecause BricsCAD supports most industry standard custom content chances are excellent that you’ll be able to migrate your custom tools. The time to get good permissions control of your BricsCAD ecosystem is right at the start. These new folders containing BricsCAD custom files should be created with permissions that allow users to read and use the files/folders in question but not edit or delete them. It really is worth a few moments to ask this question now, so you won’t be sorry later. Nothing is worse than having IT change a mapped drive letter or UNC resource location after you’ve created all your customization.
