A demo database is included with every Desigo Optic installation. When working on a live job, you can remove the demo database to gain additional system capacity.
This section outlines instructions for removing the demo database.
There must be at least one project in the db folder before the demo database is deleted.
- If you have an existing database or are upgrading from a previous version of that already has an existing database, skip steps 1 through 3.
- Open Desigo Optic and start the Desigo_Optic5 service.
Starting the service
- In the Host
window, select Projects
in the menu bar and click Create
in the status bar.
- Enter the following for the new project:
- Name: The name of the new project.
Enter a name using camel case reference. For example, demoBuilding. Valid characters include a to z, A to Z and _ (underscore). Do not use spaces, numbers, special characters, or "proj". Using any of these will invalidate your project.
- (Optional) Display name: Displays in the Desigo Optic project tile. Enter a name using standard text formatting. For example, Demo Building #1.
