Creating project sites

At the main project site, you can add new project sites, also called satellite sites. This action creates a project-site object in the project database and transfers its ownership to the target replica server. The project-site object acts as a "project seed" when installing the project on the replica server.

Do the following:

  1. In the CADMATIC desktop, select the project icon and then Object > Manage Project.

  2. In the Manage Project dialog, select Replication tab > Add. The Create New Project Site wizard opens.

  3. On the Setup for COS replica server page, select the replica server to use.

    • COS Replica Server – Select the replica server from the list.

      If the server does not exist yet, click Create Replica and follow the instructions in Creating replica server installation (.cri) files to create the installation file. This adds the new server to the list.

    Click Next.

  4. On the Setup for new project site page, define settings for design areas.

    • Max number of Design Areas – Specify how many design area IDs to reserve for the new site.

      Important: This number cannot be changed later.

    • Model Filters – Optionally, define pass and deny boxes to specify which parts of the project area are visible in the new site. See Model Filters for details.

    Click Next.

  5. On the Ready to create new site page, click Create, and then Finish when the process completes.
