Delete Archived Model or Drawing
General
NEVER delete Vertex models (*.vxm) or drawings (*.vxp) by using Windows tools if they are stored in an archive, because then the archive knows the document, but cannot find it.
NEVER move models or drawings to other directories (to other projects) by using Windows tools. because then the archive can no longer find the moved document.
- The models and drawings in the archive are located:
For standalone installations
- ../vxg4/shared/picts folder, if they are not part of a project.
- ../vxg4/shared/projects folder, in the folder corresponding to the project label, if they belong to the project.
Server installations
- ../vxg4_srv/shared/picts folder, if they are not part of a project.
- ../vxg4_srv/shared/projects folder, in the folder corresponding to the project label, if they belong to the project.
