[BLDG-SIM] Re-pathing a CAD background

[Brian Fountain]

Item 2 is easier - the results list all projects in the \Projects\
sub-directory.  If you don't want the results listed, move the project
directories from the eQUEST Projects\ subdirectory to somewhere else.
(I have a project_archives\ directory so I don't keep displaying all
my client's results.)

 

I believe the CAD background is in the .pd2 file.  Once I have the
building geometry, I tend to sever the connection to the .dwg file
believing it frees up some resources and decreases file size.  (I
don't know about the accuracy of this belief.)

Subject: [BLDG-SIM] Re-pathing a CAD background

 

I made my eQUEST model using CAD backgrounds and saved it on my
computer.

 

I copied the folders (model and backgrounds) to the network drive. I
can get the model to come up, but it prompts me to browse for the cad
file. I found it's new location for each background, and the model ran
fine.

 

However, when I come back into it, eQUEST once again asked for the
location of the CAD background files. 

 

 

What can I do to get it to recognize where the backgrounds are located
every time I start the program up?

 

 

Also, how do I purge/erase the result file listings for all the
projects I've worked on in the left column every time I view a new
simulation's results? 

 

Thanks.
