Project Storage | Introduction
Project storage in Civil Site Design and Stringer Topo V25.1 offers a new way to manage project data, enhancing data organisation, protection, and version control. Instead of storing the project data folder next to the DWG file, as in the traditional format, project storage places this folder in a separate location defined by the project storage folder path.
A key feature of project storage is the assignment of a unique GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) to each project data folder. This GUID acts like a digital fingerprint, ensuring that even if multiple projects share the same storage location, their data remains separate and distinct. This prevents any accidental mixing of information, protecting data integrity.
Project Storage | Restoring Projects
Project Storage implements a version control system. Every time a project is opened, a new data folder is created with a unique GUID. This ensures that each work session begins with a clean copy of the project data, safeguarding against accidental modifications impacting previous versions. Previous versions of the data folder are preserved within the project storage location, allowing users to revert to earlier project states if needed.
See how Civil Site Design efficiently incorporates and displays survey data, specifically cogo points and survey strings, within your design framework. This article explores this through the lens of a rural road project, demonstrating how cogo points and survey strings from the topographical survey are seamlessly integrated and visualised in Civil Site Design's Cross Section Viewer, VGE (Vertical Grading Editor), and 3D viewer (Model Viewer).
Stringer Topo provides multiple ways for customers to interact with and edit the points and survey strings that define your feature surveys. Using the Survey String Manager, you can select any point or survey string to view properties, and edit the selected object by right click or from the contextual ribbon. The Stringer Toolspace operates as a standard CAD palette, for you to create and edit points, point groups, survey strings and surfaces.
Unlock advanced cross-section editing in Civil Site Design with ScriptX, a user-friendly scripting tool for precision and customization. Easily integrate your scripts into the design process, and collaborate effortlessly with a shared library of scripts. This article will explore ScriptX's capabilities and provide download sample scripts.
At times you may need to move your standalone Civil Site Design or Stringer license due to hardware failure, formatting of a workstation (PC) or moving to another PC. Here are the instructions on how to complete this process both if the license is accessible or inaccessible.
