Setup Multiuser

Multi User Setup

In most cases you will be setting up for a multiuser installation using WireCAD PRO or ENT(not released yet). You will be using SQL shared databases on a database server. You will also require a file server that each WireCAD user has full permissions on.

Follow these steps to set up:

1. Install SQL Server - More...
   
2. Launch WireCAD and run the Project>Application Setup Wizard
   
3. Configure the Application Setup Wizard for SQL Server Global Databases to look at the server for the Global Databases.
4. Configure your Project>Settings[Support Paths]
   1. Set up a network share that is visible to all WireCAD users. If you are mapping a network drive then all users must map the same drive letter. We recommend at least two folders.
      1. One for shared documents
         

         Project>Settings[Support Paths]
      2. One for Project
   2. Copy files that you want to share. We recommend that you share the following folders:
      1. Template Drawings folder.
      2. Reports Folder(s).
5. Once you have the network share configured and permission set for all users. Set the following Support Paths:
   1. Template Drawings should be pointed to YOURNETWORKSHARE\YOURWIRECADSHAREDDOCSFOLDER\Template Drawings folder.
   2. Reports should be pointed to YOURNETWORKSHARE\YOURWIRECADSHAREDDOCSFOLDER\Reports.
   3. Default New Project Location should be pointed to YOURNETWORKSHARE\YOURWIRECADprojectsFOLDER.
