    How to create a file package using the tool called ‘Packager’ from OBD

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer 
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: General

    Background

    It is often found that when a user wants to transfer a file to someone else who is not part of his current project it becomes very much difficult for them to send all the required file that is associated with the particular DGN file that they wanted to send. To ease out the situation here is a tool that one can use in such a case. The name of the tool is ‘Packager’.

    Steps to Accomplish 

    To use this tool one needs to use the steps added below,

    1. Open the particular DGN file in OBD. Then open the ‘Packager’ tool using the following path,
    File>Tools>Packager
    2. Then when the ‘Welcome’ window arrives click on ‘Next’.
    3. Then on the next page enter the Packager's name and the Description.
    4. On the next page called ‘Design Option’ ticked all the options which are available there.
    5. On the next page called ‘Gathering Data’ click on the tab called ‘Current Directory’ to add all required data available in the particular directory where the file is located.
    6. Then on the next page called ‘ Select Workset Option’ choose all the options that you need.
    7. After that choose the location where you want to store the *.pzip file that will be created by this tool.
    8. Then on the next page review all the files that you will transfer.
    9. Finally click on ‘Finish’ on the last page.
