Move/Copy Plant 3D Project SQL Server Lite

tstorzuk — Wed, 20 Jul 2022 13:30:15 GMT

Trying to find out how to properly move a Plant 3D SQL Server Lite project to a different folder/server location.

I DO NOT want to convert it to a SQL Server project in order to be able to do this.

It is not a project within Vault, nor do I want it to be.

Could someone direct me to the correct procedure please?

dear @tstorzuk ,

If you mean a SQLite project, you can simply move your project to another location.
Then start Plant 3D and run Open Project and select the project.xml from the new location.

Maybe someone else has run into issues or better advice to share, but I haven't found any issues in just copying/moving the folder to a new location. All of the data should be stored in the project folder. The SQLite databases are the dcf files found in the project folder.

@h_eger @matt.worland

Once I move the folder location, then do I have to go into the project set-up and change all of the paths?

Are there any other steps that need to be done other than changing paths? Something that I'm not thinking of?

@h_eger

So I move it from the C:\ to a different drive, and all the paths will update accordingly on their own?

That's impressive!!!

Thanks!!
