Uploading Equipment To Community Server

Command Line Shortcut: ' User Permissions Level: All Product Level: All Uploading created equipment to the Community Sever allows all WireCAD users to access, download and modify equipment for their drawings. This prevents having to store a massive equipment list locally and prevents having to create a new piece of equipment when it is not in your local database.

Before You Start

Please note when you first install WireCAD, you are asked if you would like to "Automatically Contribute My Work", "Only After I Check the Approved Box for Each Record" or "No Thanks". Depending on your selection, WireCAD will automatically upload your equipment or wait for you to approve it. If you have selected "Automatically Contribute My Work" you are done and no further action is required.
