What is a ModelBuilder connection file (MBC) and can it be shared?
How can I copy or share my ModelBuilder connections?
After a ModelBuilder run has been created (see images below) a user can choose to export the properties of the run by clicking the 'Export Connection button'. ModelBuilder will create a .MBC file that can be shared with colleagues by using the "Import Connection" feature. Note:
Each time you set up a ModelBuilder connection, it is saved in the list seen in the main ModelBuilder window. This window is what is first displayed when you open ModelBuilder (Tools > ModelBuilder). This list of connections is saved in a file called Modelbuilder.xml. The connections in this file will appear for any model on that computer. To move, copy or share the Modebuilder connection information, you'll need to copy that Modelbuilder.xml file to the other computer, then restart the Haestad product. Be sure that version of the Haestad product is the same on that computer. For instance, make sure WaterGEMS V8i SELECTseries 4 (build 08.11.04.58) is installed on both computers.The location of the Modelbuilder.xml file depends on the operating system:Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(user profile name)\Application Data\Bentley\WaterGEMS\8\Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\(user profile name)\AppData\Roaming\Bentley\WaterGEMS\8\
