Managing Paths

00:00

PRESENTER: In this session, we will

00:01

walk through the specific steps for Managing Node

00:04

and Package Paths inside Dynamo for Civil 3D.

00:07

Managing paths is an important step

00:09

to ensuring the downloaded packages appear

00:11

every time you open Dynamo.

00:13

This is also the area where we manage packages

00:16

that are distributed to a wider audience

00:17

inside an organization.

00:20

We are now the third step in the workflow,

00:22

Managing Package Paths inside Dynamo.

00:25

Let's switch over to Dynamo and get started.

00:28

I have already accessed the Dynamo interface

00:30

by clicking on the Manage tab inside of Civil 3D, Visual

00:34

Programming panel, and clicking on the Dynamo icon.

00:38

Once inside the Dynamo interface,

00:40

click on the settings menu at the top.

00:43

Choose Manage Node and Package Paths.

00:51

Within the dialog box, we have several paths already saved.

00:54

The top half is the default save location.

00:57

On the left side of the dialog box,

00:59

we can move paths up or down based on priority.

01:04

The plus sign allows the addition

01:06

of a new folder location.

01:08

If you have a specific folder location

01:10

to share individual nodes or whole packages

01:12

within your organization, you would add this path here.

01:16

The minus sign allows the removal of specific paths.

01:21

The ellipses to the right of each path location

01:24

will direct you to the specific location

01:26

inside Windows Explorer.

01:29

Once we have completed modifications

01:30

to the node and package paths, click accept changes.

01:35

This process of managing node and package paths

01:37

ensures the packages will remain available every time

01:40

we open Dynamo.
