Downloading Documents and Folders
You can download copies of documents from the Document Manager to your local or network drive.
When you download files, the name of the downloaded files must be unique. If you select a number of documents or files in the Document Manager > Unpublished Documents folder and click to download them, and you notice that not all of your selected documents have been downloaded, it is because duplicated names existed in the Unpublished Documents folder.
The file size for the downloading must be more than 0 byte. The actual file size for the downloading depends on the following:
- The network bandwidth, session time-out setting, and other pertinent parameters.
- Browser restrictions.
By default, the latest version of a document will be downloaded.
Shortcuts, empty folders, and empty documents cannot be downloaded.
If the download window (Java console plug-in) is still open on your machine, you may not be able to delete, move, or modify the downloaded file as it will appear to be in use. If this is the case, close the plug-in window.
To download a document:
- Select the document to be downloaded. You can choose only one document at a time.
- Click the Download button.
- If the document is a drawing file with reference files, the Reference window opens, listing all drawing and reference files. Click the Download button next to one of the files to download. The File Download window opens.
- Click the Save button. The Save As window opens.
- Browse to the location where you want to download the file and click Save.
- If you are downloading drawing and reference files, repeat for each file.
To download a file or folder:
Select one or more documents or folders in the documents log.
- From the File menu, click Download, or click the Download button. The Download Files and Folders window opens.
- Browse to the location where you want to download the files.
