Multi User Setup

In most cases you will be setting up for a multiuser installation using WireCAD PRO or ENT(not released yet). You will be using SQL shared databases on a database server. You will also require a file server that each WireCAD user has full permissions on.

Follow these steps to set up:

  1. Install SQL Server - More...
  2. Launch WireCAD and run the Project>Application Setup Wizard
  3. Configure the Application Setup Wizard for SQL Server Global Databases to look at the server for the Global Databases.
  4. Configure your Project>Settings[Support Paths]
    1. Set up a network share that is visible to all WireCAD users. If you are mapping a network drive then all users must map the same drive letter. We recommend at least two folders.
      1. One for shared documents
      2. One for Project
    2. Copy files that you want to share. We recommend that you share the following folders:
      1. Template Drawings folder.
      2. Reports Folder(s).
  5. Once you have the network share configured and permission set for all users. Set the following Support Paths:
    Project>Settings[Support Paths]
    1. Template Drawings should be pointed to YOURNETWORKSHARE\YOURWIRECADSHAREDDOCSFOLDER\Template Drawings folder.
    2. Reports should be pointed to YOURNETWORKSHARE\YOURWIRECADSHAREDDOCSFOLDER\Reports.
    3. Default New Project Location should be pointed to YOURNETWORKSHARE\YOURWIRECADprojectsFOLDER.
