Question

How can I transfer the project data and settings of my older PC to a new PC?


Answer:

The directory tree in the Project Manager is managed in the PRO.DLP file. By default, this is located in the folder C:\ProgramData\Dlubal\Global\Project Manager. You can check the directory paths of the Project Manager in the "Program Options" dialog box (click the Project Manager menu "Edit → Program Options").

If you copy the PRO.DLP file from your old computer to the corresponding folder of the new computer, the original structure will be restored in the Project Manager. It is no longer necessary to integrate the individual projects. Important: In order to link the projects correctly on the new computer, the projects must have the same locations. Therefore, copy the project files into the directories and folders of the same name on the new computer. Furthermore, you can transfer the user-defined libraries:
  • Printout Report Header
    DlubalProtocolConfigNew.cfg in the folder C:\ProgramData\Dlubal\Global\General Data
  • Report Templates
    RfemProtocolConfig.cfg (RFEM) in the folder C:\ProgramData\Dlubal\RFEM 5.xx\General Data or RstabProtocolConfig.cfg (RSTAB) in the folder C:\ProgramData\Dlubal\RSTAB 8.xx\General Data
  • User-Defined Cross-Section Library
    EigProf.dat in the folder C:\ProgramData\Dlubal\RFEM 5.xx\General Data (RFEM) or C:\ProgramData\Dlubal\RSTAB8.xx\General Data (RSTAB)
  • User-Defined Material Library
    The material library consists of two files: Materialien.dbd and Materialien_User.dbd in the folder C:\ProgramData\Dlubal\RFEM 5.xx\General Data (RFEM) or C:\ProgramData\Dlubal\RSTAB 8.xx\General Data (RSTAB)
