Where are custom reports and cable files stored in V8i SS1?

As the title suggests please advise location. I have had a hard drive failure, but am able to retire files luckily.

Please advise where the custom files are and are called so I can back them up and reinstall.

Thanks

Stuart

  • Shane,

    Thanks for that, unfortunately it doesn't tell me which files in V26 I need to retain for when I reinstall the software.

    Folders are Bentley>Hevacomp V8i>Hevacomp>Assemblies

    Please advise what files I need to backup for custom cables and reports.

    Thanks

    Stuart
  • Hi Stuart,

    For custom reports the filenames you need are as shown in my previous link, i.e.:

    usrrep.tem  (usually at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Hevacomp V8i\Hevacomp\)          
    stdrep.tem    (usually at  C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Hevacomp V8i\Hevacomp\Reports)        
    ConnectRpt28_1.rpt (usually at  C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Hevacomp V8i\Hevacomp\Reports)     
    ConnectRpt29_1.rpt  
    ConnectRpt30_1.rpt  
    ConnectRptxx_1.rpt

    For your custom cable data it is slightly different, as detailed here. The custom cable filenames you need are in a file named NEWCAB.NDX, located at C:\ProgramData\Bentley\Hevacomp V8i\Hevacomp\IEE\Cables. If you drag the NEWCAB.NDX file into notepad you will be able to see the relevant filenames.

  • Just to clarify on Shane's information the filename is the last item on each line of Newcab.ndx and is surrounded by quotation marks as shown in bold in the example below:

    "PVC Custom Cable","Single-core PVC Custom Cable (PVC single Custom)","PVCCUSTOM1"
