General Workflow

This chapter describes the general workflows when using PlantReporter with Collaboration project.

Configurations Files of PlantReporter

These are the files used by PlantDataManager

  1. PlantReporter.xml This file exist locally (%PROGRAMDATA%\ACPlant Consult\PlantTools\PlantReporter\Plantreporter.xml) All settings from the Settings dialog are stored locally.

  2. PDMDataCache_[USERNAME].dcf The [PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantDataManager\PDMDataCache_[USERNAME].dcf files are containing user changes which haven't been imported into the drawings.

  3. NPO_[DWGGUID].xml The [PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantDataManager\NPO_[DWGGUID].xml files are containing NPO and relationship tasks for individual drawings which haven't been imported into the drawings.

  4. ReportConfiguration.Collection.xml The [PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantReporter\ReportFiles\ReportConfiguration.Collection.xml holds a list of available rcf files in the project.

  5. **.rcf and .layout.22.2 The [PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantReporter\ReportFiles folder contains the rcf and layout files of the project if the location settings is set to Project (see AutoCAD Plant 3D).

  6. SQL Script Files (*.sql) The [PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantLink*.sql files are executed (if enabled) on project load. For example, to create view in the database. The files cannot be edited through PlantDataManager's Settings dialog.

  7. LinkConfiguration.Collection.xml The [PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantLink\LinkConfiguration.Collection.xml holds a list of available lcf files in the project.

  8. *.lcf files The [PROJCTFOLDER]\ACPlantTools\PlantLink*.lcf files are the configuration files of PlantLink in your project.

  9. Related Files The related files are all files which are used as the external data source and typically point to a file in the project.When using UDL file referencing a MS Access or MS Excel file, this will also be handled.
