PowerPid and Projectwise

Hello Wim,

And what exactly do you mean by integrating? Using PW Managed workspace? Just storing files in PW? Integrating Plant project (and database) to PW?  Some other idea of integration?

Please provide a bit mode details on what does not seem to work for you so that we could suggest a guide/solution.

Regards,

Justinas

Hello Justinas,

We are just trying to open PowerPid drawings from within ProjectWise. We do not use Managed Workspaces, we have adapted the standard metric workspace to suit our needs. We don't use Plant project.

We have tried to create a program association to connect the drawings with PowerPid but we always get an error message when starting PowerPid from within ProjectWise. I don't have a screen shot but the message is that "this is not a valid powerpid project.". Although the same project workspace works perfect outside ProjectWise.

Kind regards.

Hello Wim,

I see now. If you are not using managed workspace in PW, it would be then good idea to create a workspace profile for your OPPID project and assign it to you OPPID files in PW, so that all users would use the same profile from their local machines. In PW Administrator go to Workspaces -> Workspace profiles and create one for your OPPID application:

Afterwards, you should assign this profile to your OPPID files folder in PW Explorer. If setting this up will not help, could you please send me more details on your program association setting for OPPID.

Hello Justinas,

This looks like it could be helpfull. Unfortunately I'm not going to have a change to work on this for a couple of days. I'm going to try this out next week! I'll keep you posted.

Thanks!
