  • If you update the server files (LabView code) you may need to specify file paths for the program to run. To do this, start the server and click on the yellow folder button next to the "Pause" button. A dialog box will pop up whose title will ask you to select the Design Tool folder. Highlight "ADT Designs" (under Final Designs) and then click "Current Folder." Then the dialog box's title will ask you to select the Requested Designs folder. This folder is "DesignRequests" found in Documents. Highlight it and click "Current Folder" again. Finally, the dialog box will ask you to specify the Completed Designs path. The filepath for this folder is D:\inetpub\wwwroot\Designs. Highlight and click "Current Folder." You should be able to run the server as usual now, and the server will remember these file paths until the next time you update.
  • Do not commit 2007 .docx versions of the Design Specs. These versions will make the server crash. You may convert 2007 versions to 2010 in Word before running the server.
  • Try not to resize the AutoCAD window after it pops up. Resizing the window will affect the quality/size of the preview images that appear on the webpage containing the final design returned to the user.
  • In Final Designs/ADT Designs/EtFlocSedFi you will see a file called EtFlocSedFi2 after a design has been made. This file is EtFlocSedFi with the requested flow rate saved inside, and you may want to use this to help you debug.
  • If you want to test an older version of the code, you can put the svn version number in the "ADT version" field next to the "SVN checkout" button before you submit a request. You may also update the Final Designs folder to a specific revision (right click Final Designs -- > Tortoise Toritoise SVN -> update - > update to revision), and leave the ADT version field at 0. When the field is it zero, it just tells the server to read out of Final Designs as is.
  • When you are debugging, you want to hit the "Stop" button on the server. You can hit the white arrow again to rerun it.
