Only Production Files for IMPACT Go

Last modified by Dennis Knudsen on 2025/10/29 14:44

When the design department works from a shared network drive, there is no need for a cloud sharing solution like file sync.

But this can create problems for the production team, because PDFs and OBJs must be uploaded to cloud storage to be visible in IMPACT Go.

To make this process easier, is it possible to use the option called "Only Production Files for IMPACT Go" - This option is an "Upload Only" option for PDF and OBJ files.

This option is only active if the Cloud File Storage is set to Yes, and it will disable all the "Skip" options.

When activated, will the "Normal" sync functions like "Synchronize Files", "Download Latest" and "File Sync - File Check" be greyed out and Project Manager functions "lock" and "unlock" don't get applied when opening a drawing.

The Uploading of the PDF files will be handled in the Plot function through the Project Manager, while the uploading of the OBJ files will be handled by IMPACT for CAD upon closing the drawing. 

In IMPACT for Revit, the OBJ file is uploaded on saving the element mark.

In Tekla Base tools, the OBJ and PDF file is uploaded on saving the element mark.
