Visum uses various file types to which data is saved or from which data is read. For most of these file types you can define a directory where files of this type are to be stored by default and from where they are read by default. Visum will also browse through this folder for related files of the file type, for example for backgrounds or POIs.
By default, all directories point to the directory where the currently loaded version file is stored. This way you can pass on all files belonging to the project if necessary if relative paths are used in the version file, by copying the whole folder.
1. On the File menu, point to Project directories and then click Edit project directories.
The Edit project directories window opens. In this window, all relevant Visum file types are listed (File types).
2. In the row of a particular file type, click the button 
.
|
Note: Via the Set path for all types button you can change the directory for almost all of the file types simultaneously. Exceptions are the project directory file (*.pfd), user-VDF-DLLs, projections (*.prj) and Visum add-ons. |
3. Select the desired folder.
4. Confirm with OK.
The path to the selected folder is displayed in a column.
|
Note: Alternatively you can edit the path by double-clicking the current entry and edit the path directly. This way you can also enter relative paths.
|
5. If necessary, change further directories.
6. Confirm with OK.
When a file is to be read or saved next time Visum will use the new paths by default.
|
Notes: These settings only apply until your Visum session is terminated. But you can save the settings to file and read them from file again (Saving a network file). You can also edit given file extensions or add more file extensions. We recommend not to change this setting. |
