Usage of centralized settings

When running more than one installation of interiorCAD, it is convenient to have all settings available on all the other machines. This can save a lot of time because new settings only need to be done once. Furthermore it simplifies the process of configuring a backup system for your resources.

To use the interiorCAD resources on a centralized computer (aka server), do the following:

• Create a share on a machine
  
• Ensure that this share is available for all the other machines. On Windows, mount the share as a drive
  
• Copy the folder called �XG Resources� from one of the local machines to that share
  
• Ensure that all machines can create new files on the share as well as write to existing files. The latter step is very important
  
• On the workstations, empty the folder called �XG Resources� except for two files, FSC.txt and KAPreferences.txt. Both need to remain untouched
  
• On the working machines, click on the menu �Shop�, point to �Preferences� and choose �Preferences Shop...�
  
• Choose the page �Shared access�
  
• Choose the 2nd option and klick on the button �Choose...�
  
• Choose the folder �XG Resources� on the server
  
• Confirm your settings by klicking the button �OK� twice
  

It is very important that all the files on the server are writable for interiorCAD. Otherwise you may experience unexpected behaviour, not excluding crashes.
