Opening the eShare App

You can open eShare App from the Start menu of Microsoft Windows.

• Select Start > CADMATIC > eShare App.

  The application automatically connects to the eShare server that you used the last time.

  Or, if opening eShare App for the first time, the configuration dialog opens for defining the server(s) to connect to, as described in Configuring the eShare App. After configuring the eShare server(s), the application automatically connects to the first server on the list of configured servers.

You can also open eShare App from a hyperlink in a third-party application, using the eShare redirector.

• Use the proprietary eshareapp protocol in the URL when you open eShare from an application that is not a web browser, such as Microsoft Excel. For example, if eShare server is running at https://eshare:81/, you can open it with eshareapp:https://eshare/. The protocol supports two URL formats:

  • eshareapp:https://eshare/r?/p/…—use this format in links embedded to Excel files where the pound sign # cuts the link. eShare redirector replaces r? with # when opening the link.
  • eshareapp:https://eshare/#/p/…—use this format in other applications.

• In a web browser, use the normal URL to access the eShare server, but replace # in the URL with r? (r followed by a question mark). This opens 32-bit projects in web browser and 64-bit projects in eShare App.

  For example, if the URL of a specific view starts with https://eshare/#/p/…, you can open it with https://eshare/r?/p/….
