Snapshots
A project snapshot is a .TEWZIP
archive embedded in the project folder. This is the full content of a
electrical project database and files, not only a differential compared
to the previous snapshot.
A snapshot can contain the external
dependencies of the electrical project (library items such as used symbols
or title blocks).
A snapshot is an electrical project backup done at a special time, such
as a new revision index creation. The snapshot offers the possibility
to restore an old version of the electrical project, it must not be confused
with the electrical project archive.
Snapshot and electrical project archive comparison
|
Snapshot |
electrical
project archive |
Folder and filename |
The TEWZIP file is saved automatically
in a directory depending on the project folder. The snapshot filename
is automatically managed by the software. |
The electrical project filename (TEWZIP)
and the saved folder are managed by the user. |
Dependencies (All
elements used to create the electrical project, such as symbols
or title blocks) |
When you create a snapshot you can include (or not) the
dependencies. If the snapshot is restored in the same workstation,
it is not necessary to include the dependencies. |
The dependencies are automatically included in the archive
file. |
Management |
The snapshot files are managed automatically by the software
through the Snapshot Management
dialog box. |
The user has to manage by himself the electrical project
archived files. |
Electrical project exchange |
Do not use a snapshot file to exchange an electrical project
with another Company. |
Only use the electrical project archive to exchange the
electrical project with another Company (contains dependencies). |
