Data backup CAD

Description

It is important to secure your projects. However, you should also back up your program settings. Settings from options and configuration, but also symbol lines, for example, are stored in separate files. In this way you can quickly restore your program interface and continue working with your saved data.

Backup of the data

To back up the files, it is helpful to adjust the folder options in your operating system. Your hardware advisor can help you with this.

  • Show hidden files and folders
  • Show extensions for known file types

Automatic backup

When upgrading the products DATAflor GREENXPERT and DATAflor ETB-CAD Some important files relating to the AutoCAD basis are automatically saved (eg templates, plot settings and support files, such as hatching files and line types).

You can find this backup under C: \ ProgramData \DATAflor\ Backup.
The entire path structure is backed up, so you can simply put the files you want in the path under C: \ Users \ \ AppData \ can copy back.


Template file

The template file (necessary if you are using a customized template) for DATAflor GREENXPERT can be found at:
C: \ Users \ \ AppData \ Local \DATAflor\DATAflor GREENXPERT VERSION NUMBER \ Rx.x \ eng \ Template

Save all files with the extension * .DWT.

If you DATAflor LANDXPERT or DATAflor CADXPERT you can find the template file in the corresponding AutoCAD (MAP) directory. Search your computer for * .DWT.

Watch this film to see which adjustments are possible to use your own template file.


user data

You can find your own libraries, symbol lines, configuration files, etc. under:
DATAflor GREENXPERT: C: \ ProgramData \DATAflor\greenXpert
DATAflor ETB-CAD: C: \ ProgramData \DATAflor\etb-cad
DATAflor LANDXPERT: C: \ ProgramData \DATAflor\landXpert
DATAflor CADXPERT: C: \ ProgramData \DATAflor\ CAD

Save the entire folder here.

If you have the extended GAEB import and the associated Link zu DATAflor BUSINESS then also back up the following folders (database with the linked LVs):

for single place:
C1): \ ProgramData \DATAflor\BusinessData
C2): \ ProgramData \DATAflor\BusinessDatabase

for network installation on the server:
Please note that the database on the server must first be closed.

D3): \ Sharename4) \BusinessData
D5): \ Sharename6) \BusinessDatabase

Custom interface

If you want to adapt your CAD user interface to your requirements, do not change the menu of the standard installation but create one new (partial) customization file (* CUIX). This can be easily added to all computers and even after updates have been carried out.
