I have added a lot of project details in the Project Browser. Can I export
these to another application?
Yes. The project details you enter in the Project Browser are stored in the
project’ s APJ file, which is a well-formed XML file. If you want to export these
details, create a copy of the APJ file, and export it to any XML application or
database. If you want to use the project detail categories and items in another
project, use the existing APJ file as the template for the new project.
What should I do if my APJ file has been accidentally deleted or corrupted?
Deleting or corrupting the project’s APJ files has no influence on the DWG
files and XML files contained in the project. In the Project Browser, the project
will not display anymore. To recreate the project with a new APJ file, go to
the Project Browser, and create a new project of the same name in the same
folder location as the previous APJ file. For instructions, see Creating a New
Project on page 313. Then, go to the Project Navigator, and drag-and-drop the
Elements, Constructs, Views, and Sheets folders of the project from Windows
Explorer into the corresponding tabs of the Project Navigator. This re-inserts
the files into the project.
What should I do if an XML file has been accidentally deleted or corrupted?
Each DWG file within a project has an accompanying XML file that contains
the project-specific information. If the accompanying XML file is accidentally
deleted or corrupted, the DWG file is no longer recognized as part of the
project and will not display in the Drawing Explorer. To insert it into the
project again, convert the DWG file into a project file. For instructions, see
Converting a Drawing to a Construct on page 393and Converting a Drawing
to an Element on page 417.
Can I limit other users access to the project files?
You can limit other users ability to edit and delete project files by using the
network permissions. You can limit the Delete rights for the entire project, so
that users are not able to delete files from the project or move files around
within the project. You might also consider just limiting the delete rights to
the top project folder (containing the APJ file) and allow deleting in the
subfolders.
How much additional file space will the project files need?
Working with a project does not require large additional amounts of file space
on your computer or network folder. The XML files are less than 10K, most
