InstallationWHERE ARE THINGS INSTALLED?POST PROCESSORSAny post processors you are to receive will be included on a floppy disk which is included with yourorder. Copy the Posts folder from the floppy disk to your hard drive. You may store your postprocessors anywhere. After the first use the software will default to the folder from which you lastopened a post processor.FILE LOCATIONSPlease be aware that there are three different classifications for data: User data, Global data andInstall Directory data. User data consists of files that change with each user, Global data consists offiles that are applied to all users. Install Directory data includes generic data as well as Reportertemplates. These three types of data are stored in three different locations, as detailed below. Ifyou customize these files or upgrade your version of GibbsCAM frequently, accessing and copyingthese files can become quite important. Please note that the locations and names are differentunder Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 than under Windows XP or WindowsServer 2003.Windows XP and Windows Server 2003The following table shows the folder hierarchy for GibbsCAM files in Windows XP and WindowsServer 2003.User DataGlobalDataInstall DataC:\Documents and Settings\\ApplicationData\Gibbs\GibbsCAM\C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Gibbs\GibbsCAM\C:\Program Files \Gibbs\GibbsCAM\Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008The following table shows the folder hierarchy for GibbsCAM files in Windows 7, Windows Vista andWindows Server 2008.User DataGlobal DataInstall DataC:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Gibbs\GibbsCAM\C:\ProgramData\Gibbs\GibbsCAM\C:\Program Files\Gibbs\GibbsCAM\16
InstallationUser DataThis directory holds sysdef.rsc (what was entered in dialogs), UIState.dat (where your windowswere and their size) and a Plugins folder that contains what was entered in the plug-ins. Althoughany of these items can be moved between version folders, it is not recommended because ofunpredictable behavior. If you move the files and experience odd behavior, delete them from thenew directory and relaunch GibbsCAM.Global DataThis directory holds the bolt and tap tables, the CutDATA file (Material.txt), your communicationset-up data (protocol.txt), a file that stores the Hole Wizard data (prefs.rsc), a folder that containsyour custom MDDs, and the PostHASTE Library folder that contains PostHASTE library files. You willwant to copy these files to a new installation directory if you have customized them and installanother version of GibbsCAM. The location of the CutDATA file can also customized withinGibbsCAM; see the Preferences section of GibbsCAM.Install Directory DataIncluded in this folder are generic versions of Global and User data files as well as ReporterTemplates, which are located in the...PlugIns\Data\Report folder. If you create customreports they should be placed in this folder. Items in the install directory are marked as read-only. Ifyou do not have sufficient privileges you will need to have a user with Administrator access makechanges to this directory.Existing Communications, CutDATA and Library FilesInstalling a new version of GibbsCAM will install the default material database and create a blankcommunications file, default PostHASTE library files and Reporter templates. Once the new versionis installed you may copy protocol.txt, material.txt and the Library folder to the new GibbsCAMfolder.A Note About User Access To DirectoriesPlease note that Windows marks the Application Data folders as invisible, and Limited Users cannotaccess them. You may need an administrator’s assistance to access and modify these directories.17
