Protogen Preference Options

Discussion

The Protogen pull down menu has an "options" item which can be used for the following:

  • Changing the location of Prototypes/Templates.

  • Changing the output location of Clones.

  • Automatically include Clones in the current Ebase Project.

Directories

In the "directories" editing area of this dialog box, you can enter or browse to a directory that contains your master prototypes and sub prototypes. These directories may differ if desired.

The directory for a master prototype is linked to the EDS setup directory for prototypes. This can be modified in this dialog OR from within EDS setup.

The "sub prototypes" directory will default to be the same directory as the master prototypes directory UNLESS you enter an alternative.

Ebase

In the "clone drawings" area of this dialog box, there is a check box which allows you to tell Protogen to add all clones, created by Protogen, to the current Ebase project. Clear this checkbox if you do not wish to do this.

Clone file location

In the "clone drawings" area of this dialog box, you can choose from a number of locations for Ebase to deposit your clone drawings once created. The options are:

  • The current working directory (Set within EDS Setup)

  • The location where Protogen found the master database (or the only database if there is only one).

  • The current project "reports" directory set within Ebase.

  • Another user specified directory, which you can key in or browse to specify.
