Compatibility

Publish wireframes as .TRIDB files

This check box option is turned off by default, so that wireframes (.tridb files) uploaded from a Micromine Origin & Beyond local project are uploaded as Wireframe Nexus Objects which are viewable in the Nexus Viewer.

When this check box is selected, the wireframes you select for upload in Micromine Origin & Beyond are uploaded to Nexus Wireframe Storage and are stored as .tridb files. Any existing wireframes (those .tridb files already uploaded to Nexus) will also be directed to Nexus Wireframe Storage when newer versions of those files are uploaded. These files are NOT viewable in the Nexus Viewer.

Sync

On Project Open

Select an option for synchronisation of the Nexus project with MMO&B. You can select between the following for the sync behaviour on opening a Nexus project:

  • Do nothing - No synchronisation occurs. The project can be synchronised manually.

  • Check for updates - Nexus will check for updated files from MMO&B. If found, you will be prompted to download them.

  • Download form sets - Nexus will download only the available form sets from MMO&B.

  • Download form sets & files - Nexus will download the available form sets, as well as any updated files from MMO&B.

On Sync

Select the options that apply to the actions you want Nexus to take when it is synchronised with MMO&B.

  • Update form sets - Select this option to update the available form sets.

  • Update files - Select this option to download the updated files.

  • Select both options to update the form sets and the files for the project upon synchronisation.

  • Select Automatically upload modified form sets to ensure any modified Nexus form sets are uploaded to the project automatically.
