1.Click Application Menu > New Project
2.Click [Next >]
3.Select the type of database you wish to use and Click [Next >]
4.Enter the Name for the new project. This must follow file naming conventions because we are going to make a folder out of the name and in the Project Path that you choose.
|
NOTE: We recommend NOT using the possessive ' ie Bob's Project. The ' character is the SQL escape character and though we rarely use it in WireCAD it can cause some queries to fail. |
5.Enter a Description.
6.Click [Next >]
7.If using SQL databases enter the host information. Click [Next >]
SQL names cannot begin with a number
8.Define some of your project preferences. Here you set your base Starting Cable Number for all sequences.
9.Click [Next >]
10.By default the Next Numbers table will suggest and test the next number. If that number is in use, the Next Numbers table is incremented and tested until an available number is found. This behavior can be overridden to force the usage of the number in the Next Numbers table without testing for existence. To do this Check the Disable Find Next Available ......
11.Click [Next >]
12.Enabling Locations Look-up causes a subtle change in the SysName Assignment process. You will no longer be able to just type a location but rather will select your predefined locations from a drop-down list. If you wish to work as you have in previous versions of WireCAD disable Locations Look-up.
13.Click [Next >]
14. Review and click [Finish]
WireCAD will then create files and folders on the OS and create a new database on the SQL server if you have elected to use SQL server databases. Otherwise the blank project database will be copied to your project databases folder.
