Sharing Configurations

Share configuration files

Users can share the configuration files with colleagues or with the ARKANCE support team when submitting a support ticket.

To share the configuration files that you are using in your current project, go to Settings > Configuration Files' Location:

In the dialogue, copy the file path that is already selected:

Paste the file path inside the Windows Explorer:

Then copy all the folders inside the file path:

Paste the folders inside a new folder, located in a convenient location on your computer:

If you are sharing the files via email, we recommend compressing the folder using RAR or ZIP format:

Users can also share the files on a cloud platform where other users can easily access, download files and then copy the downloaded configuration folder file path to the Configuration Files' Location.

NOTE: It's currently not possible to map the configuration files from the cloud.

WARNING: If multiple users map the same file path from a shared company server, please keep in mind that if one user modifies the configurations, it may lead to wrong results in other users' framing projects.

RECOMMENDATION: We recommend keeping the company's standard configuration folders on a server without using the file path. Users can still copy all the configuration folders and paste them inside the new projects folder on local computers and map the configurations from there.

Map the received configuration files

After downloading the shared configuration files, choose a convenient and safe file location on your computer where configuration files will be stored.

Then open the configurations folder and copy its file path:

After copying the file path, go to Settings and choose Configuration Files' Location:

Choose an empty slot in the dialogue (if you need to add more slots, click the "plus" symbol at the bottom) and hit Save & Close:
