17  Cloud Service

17.1 Rules

This folder is actually on a server in the cloud. Multiple people have access to it. Therefore there are some rules or this will end in confusion and chaos:

17.1.1 Main Rules

  • Production is NOT RESPONSIBLE if there is a wrong file. This is being controlled by the designers of the files and not production!
  • There is always only 1 version of a file. If an update is made then overwrite the file. This is not a backup folder for zombie files, you can keep them on your computer if you wish.

17.1.2 Filenames

  • the filename is like on the drawing the part. No dates, no version, just the part name
  • if a part has multiple files, like BTL / PNG (picture) / PDF (drawing) then the files have all the same filename but different endings.
  • if a part has multiple files, like drawings, then name it part_1.png, part_2.png etc.
  • never add a number in front of the filename becasue that screws up the order in the Explorer. Keeping always the same start of the filename keeps them together in the list and is easier to recognize.

17.2 Adding Project folder to the Explorer

The Project folder can be added to the standard explorer as a drive. There is no other software needed, just standard Windows Explorer

17.2.1 Open Windows Explorer

Open the standard windows Explorer and right click on “This PC”

Explorer

17.2.2 Open Map Dialog

choose “Map network drive” in the popup menu

Explorer

17.2.3 Map the new drive

Map Dialog

17.2.4 Enter Credentials

  • Enter Username (Logworks) and Password (given by email)
  • Click on Remember my credentials so you done’t have to enter them every time you access the Drive/Folder

Credentials Dialog

17.2.5 That’s it

  • You now have sucussfully added a new drive and can add and remove files like with any other drive/folder.
  • That means when you export a BTLx then you can choose Projects to directly save to the cloud and it is instantly for everyone else available.
  • No local safe, send by email, explaining it - nothing.
