ref_value

Show file versions
If activated, a list with duplicate model files is displayed. Via selecting a specific version you can determine the layout of your construction design. The selected path will be saved together with the model.

In EUKLID Design all files are labeled with a uniquely defined identification number. Correspondingly the user defined objects included in a model are located and loaded with this number. Using operating system commands to copy model files the user can cause a situation where several files exist with the same identification number.
A problematic situation arises if several versions of a user defined object exist with different properties within the search area of the file locator table. In this case EUKLID Design will use the first version found. The result will be more or less random, accordingly the result of loading a model may differ.

To be able to analyse and fix this problem you can specify via the parameter duplicates whether the system should search for duplicate model files. The action will show all files with the same identification number in a list. This list will be displayed only if such duplicates exist.

Please proceed as follows:

EUKLID Design will search for model files within the specified path names. You may stop the action via clicking on the STOP icon.

Now you have two possibilities:
